摘要:
A vehicle having an engine which is stopped during selected operating states and a generator having counterrotating members. One of the counterrotating members is connected to the engine and the other counterrotating member is connected to the wheels of the vehicle. The generator may be driven by either the engine or the wheels.

A clutch arrangement for a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine for driving the vehicle and a flywheel coupled between the vehicle transmission and the engine for equalizing the non-uniformity of the engine output torque. The clutch arrangement includes a main clutch arranged between the flywheel and the main transmission for interrupting the coupling for shifting gears and an auxiliary controllable clutch arranged between the engine and flywheel for automatically interrupting the coupling of the engine and flywheel. The controllable clutch comprises a spring disc clutch free from rotational play and is arranged so that the direction of force for actuating the main clutch, for interrupting the coupling between the flywheel and transmission, is opposed to the direction of the force for actuating the auxiliary controllable clutch.

A system for driving a motor vehicle with a infinitely variable belt gear is provided with an engine transversely positioned to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. First and second drive-cone pulleys are provided for transmitting the rotational force of the engine. A clutch couples the engine with the drive-cone pulleys. A V-belt or chain drivingly connects the first and second output cone pulleys with the first and second drive-cone pulleys. A planetary gear drive with a sun gear, a ring gear, and a planetary gear carrier carrying planet gears is driven by the first and second output cone pulleys. A differential gear for driving the axles of the vehicle is coaxially positioned to the planetary gear with a drive gear coupling the differential gear with the planetary gear.
摘要:
Apparatus for automatic actuation of a clutch of an automobile with a manual shift transmission. A pneumatic servo motor controls clutch engagement. A control mechanism, for example a microprocessor, controls the servo motor as a function of accelerator pedal position and/or input and output clutch speeds during starts from stop (initial transmission input speed .perspectiveto.O). The rotation speed of the engine attains a prescribed value preassigned as a function of the accelerator pedal position. For each pedal position, signals to control valves cause the servo motor to vary clutch engagement based on the difference between prescribed and detected engine speeds. The signals can be pulse signals variable in frequency and/or duration by the control mechanism. During starting from stop, for pedal depressions above idle, the rotational speed of the engine remains below maximum tractive power for that pedal position. In a range of pedal positions approaching maximum depression, in one embodiment, the engine speed increases discretely to the maximum tractive power figure at or near maximum depression. In another embodiment the discrete speed increase to the maximum tractive power speed occurs before maximum pedal depression. As the pedal approaches maximum depression, a threshold of increased resisting force occurs. Air pressure variation can be detected, electrically indicated, and that variable employed to modify prescribed engine speed.

摘要:
A transmission arrangement for motor vehicles has a planetary gear set acting as an axle step-up and reversing gear. The planet gears of the planetary gear set have two sets of teeth at different diameters. Synchronizing rings are arranged to minimize the structural space required. A housing for a following differential is connectable either with the planet gear carrier or else with a ring gear meshing with the larger planet gears by way of a sliding sleeve. The transmission has a continuously variable section preceding the planetary gearing.
