AUTOMATIC STEPLESS MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: transmission has input and output shafts, inertia brake and differential. Differential carrier made in form of radial axles is secured on input shaft. Planet pinions installed on differential axles come into meshing with central wheels of differential. One of differential central wheels is secured on hollow shaft of inertia brake, hollow shaft being installed coaxially with input shaft. Inertia brake support member is secured in housing for engagement with flyweights at rotation of flyweights relative to axis of transmission. EFFECT: increased range of output shaft rotation depending on load, increased efficiency and provision of engine braking. 7 cl, 1 dwg
