Title:
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE GEARBOX
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002053949
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a gearbox wherein the speed-increasing ratio and the speed-decreasing ratio are continuously regulated. Torque is transmitted from the input (20, 21) to the output (40) by means of cyclically coupled gear shifting elements (30) and the respective transmission ratio is adjusted by eccentrically displacing the input elements in relation to the output elements. According to the invention, the gear shifting elements are coupled by means of an adjustment which can be freely chosen in such a way that both transmissions towards higher rotational speeds and transmissions towards lower rotational speeds are possible.
