474073000 | Including separate belt on each of coaxial pulleys selectively engaged in drive train | 6 |
20130237352 | POWER FLOW CONFIGURATION FOR DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION MECHANISM - A transmission mechanism with a pair of selectively engageable clutch systems is disclosed that has an upstream gear ratio and a downstream gear ratio that combine to provide an effective gear ratio. A different clutch drive member is associated with an input side of each of the pair of clutch systems. The clutch drive members are driven for rotation by an engine input member. The upstream gear ratio is determined by the gear ratio between the engine input member and one of the clutch drive members. Output sides of each of the clutch systems drive an associated one of a pair of non-coaxial layshafts. Pinions are located on and selectively driven by the layshafts. A countershaft is spaced from both of the layshafts, and has a plurality of gears. Each of the gears is driven for rotation by one of the pinions of the layshafts. The downstream gear ratio is determined by the gear ratio between the selected pinion and the intermeshed gear. | 09-12-2013 |
474074000 | With overrunning clutch | 3 |
20090176608 | Overrunning Alternator Decoupler Pulley with Bare Wire Spring and Grease Lubrication - A decoupler assembly is provided for a system that employs an endless power transmitting element. The decoupler includes a one-way clutch with a wrap spring and a torsion spring that are disposed between a pulley, which is engaged to the endless power transmitting element, and a hub. The one-way clutch permits overrunning of a driven or output one of the pulley and the hub, whereas the torsion spring stores and releases energy to attenuate the response of the one-way clutch in a manner that provides improved durability of an interface between the wrap spring and the pulley. | 07-09-2009 |
20100120563 | Damped isolator - A damped isolator comprising a first hub, a first pulley connected to the first hub, a bearing carrier connected to the first hub, an elastomeric member engaged with the first hub, a one-way clutch engaged with the elastomeric member, a bearing received by the bearing carrier, a second hub engaged with the one-way clutch and the bearing, and a second pulley connected to the second hub. | 05-13-2010 |
20160108806 | TWO SPEED BELT DRIVE SYSTEM - A two speed belt drive system comprising a crankshaft module ( | 04-21-2016 |
474075000 | Selection by tightening belt on selected pulley | 1 |
20100130319 | BELT AND CHAIN DRIVE WITH KIDNEY-SHAPED TRACTION MEANS - A belt and chain drive for vehicles or for use in drive technology with an input shaft and an output shaft supported on a frame, the input shaft and the output shaft project out of the frame, with the following features: a) gear transmissions with gear wheels, which are embodied as belt and chain drives, are located between the input shaft and the output shaft, b) all of the gear wheels are constantly in rotation during operation, c) the gear transmissions located between the input shaft and the output shaft are embodied as belt and chain drives with toothed belts as traction mechanisms and with pulleys as gear wheels, d) the traction mechanism are reinforced with aramide, Kevlar, carbon fibers or other fibrous materials, is characterized in that e) the traction mechanism is pressed into a kidney-like shape onto the pulleys by at least one component during no-load rotation, and that under the effect of load this component does not touch the traction mechanism, and f) the kidney-like shape of the traction mechanism during no-load rotation is formed by a convex curvature of the driving side and by a concave curvature of the slack side, and g) the kidney-like shape of the traction mechanisms under load is formed by a straight shape of the driving side and by an intensified concave curvature of the slack side. | 05-27-2010 |
474076000 | Selection by axially movable pin engaged in opening through selected pulley | 1 |
20140148286 | BELT DRIVE HAVING A SPEED SELECTION SHIFT MECHANISM - A speed select shift mechanism for a belt drive assembly to be installed on a shaft capable of shifting between high, low and neutral speeds is disclosed. The shift mechanism includes a shift collar that is enclosed within an enclosure to prevent debris from contacting the inner operations of the shift mechanism and thereby reduce wear and tear of the shift mechanism along with down time for maintenance of the device. The shift mechanism includes a shaft, a first pulley, a shift collar, a second pulley and a shifter. The shift collar further includes dowels that cooperatively engage corresponding apertures on the pulleys. | 05-29-2014 |
