FRICTION VARIATOR FOR DRIVE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: friction variator comprises housing (1), input (2) and output (9) shafts, friction clutch members (8) and (11) connected with the shafts, distributing pinion (3), driving gears (4), control lever (21) provided with locator (25), and intermediate friction clutches (7). Parasite conical pinion (14) is radially mounted on housing (1) and provides additional link between friction clutch members (8) and (11). Friction clutch member (8) is connected with the shaft that bears distributing pinion (3) and is mounted for permitting rotation around the shaft. Driving gears (4) and shafts (6) connected with them can rotate around their longitudinal axes arranged radially over the periphery of the housing. Intermediate shafts (6) provided with intermediate friction clutches (7) can move along their axes in the space between the faces of the friction clutch members.

EFFECT: enhanced torque and simplified control.
