METHOD OF TRANSMISSION GEAR OPERATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F16D7/06 F16D41/06 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: method of transmission gear operation consisting in the fact that a permissible force is transmitted from a master link as it is rotated towards one side to a slave one via one elastic element of the latter and a rolling body, and transmission is interrupted when rotated towards the other side. If the force value does not exceed the permissible value, links are fixed relative to each other by wedging of the rolling body between one elastic element of the slave link and the master link, and if this value is exceeded, the rolling body is wedged apart, and the rolling body is exposed to the permissible force. At the same time as the rolling body is wedged, one elastic element is exposed to a different elastic element of the slave link made with alternating stiffness. The value of the permissible force is varied by variation of mutual position of elastic elements.

EFFECT: increased reliability and functional capabilities of a device.
