Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002516966
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A power dividing device for a vehicle transmission to provide two rotating outputs having variable relative speed of rotation from a single rotatable input. The device includes a first rotational element and a second rotational element housed within the first element and rotatable about the same axis as the second rotational output. A first fluid chamber associated with the first rotational element and first regulating means to varies the volume of the first chamber in response to rotation of the first rotational element. A second fluid chamber associated with the second rotational element and second regulating means likewise varies the volume to the flow between the first and second chambers the relative timing of variation of the volumes of the first and second chambers determines the speed of the second rotational element in response to rotation of the first rotational element.
