TRANSMISSION WITH FLEXIBLE LINK Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F16H9/10 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: transmission with flexible link comprises driving shaft (1) and driven shaft (2) provided with driving and driven transmitting members each of which is composed of two disks (4) and (5) with outer cones (6) and (7) and radial grooves, carriages (10) mounted in the grooves for permitting movement, flexible link (3), and means for changing the value of effective diameter of each of the transmitting members. Disks (4) and (5) are unmovable in the axial direction. The outer face of each of the disks is made of inner cones (8) and (9) whose generatrices are parallel to the generatrix of the outer cone of the disk. The grooves of disks (4) and (5) are through. Carriages (10) have extended ends projecting out of the faces of disks (4) and (5) and are provided with rollers (13) and (14) that cooperate with the surface of inner cones of the disks thus decreasing or increasing the distance between them in axial direction and changing the effective diameter of the transmitting members.

EFFECT: expanded functional capabilities.
