Abstract: Provision of a new gear parking brake of a power transmission device that enables the simple achievement of in-gear parking. A gear parking brake (31) of a power transmission device has a fluid coupling (4) positioned on the engine side and a friction clutch (5) positioned on the transmission (2) side, arranged in series. This gear parking brake (31) is provided with a brake mechanism on an input shaft (3) of the transmission (2), which activates at the time of parking. Even though the friction clutch (5) becomes disengaged, the rotation of the input shaft (3) of the transmission (2) is restricted, thereby enabling in-gear parking.

Abstract: A continuous variable transmission is disclosed wherein the planetary gearset arranged downstream of the toroidal transmission mechanism is made simple in construction to reduce the overall axial length. To cope with this, a first planetary gearset arranged downstream of the toroidal transmission mechanism is comprised of a first carrier, a sun gear connected to an output disk, and a ring gear. The first carrier supports thereon a dual pinion having a first and second planet-gears. The ring gear may come in engagement with the second planet-gear through a first clutch for low-range operation. The combined construction of the first and second planetary gearsets contributes to the reduction of the axial length in the gearing mechanism. The second clutch for high-range operation may hold the second ring gear to a stationary case.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission for obtaining a necessary transmission gear ratio by disposing a plurality of gear trains on an input shaft 8 and an output shaft 19 which are parallel to each other, the present invention disposes two electromagnetic multiple-disk clutches C.sub.1 (or C.sub.2) and C.sub.5 (transmitting torque varying means) between the input shaft 8 and the output shaft 19 so that a torque is borne by the electromagnetic multiple-disk clutch C.sub.5 to make a shift operation at the time of shift-up and the torque is borne by the electromagnetic multiple-disk clutches C.sub.1 (or C.sub.2) and C.sub.5 to make the shift operation at the time of shiftdown. Accordingly, the torque from the engine can always be kept applied to the output shaft 19 during the gear change operation, and the occurrence of non-transmission of torque as well as the shock resulting from clutch connection can be prevented. For this reason, the gear change operation can be made smoothly without giving the feel of power loss and speed loss to the driver. The present invention can be practiced by adding only two electromagnetic multiple-disk clutches to a conventional automatic transmission and by utilizing commonly all other components of the conventional automatic transmission.

Abstract: In a fluid coupling with a baffle plate protruding on the side of an inner peripheral surface of a circulating circuit, a clutch chamber is defined between a back of a turbine impeller and a side cover covering the back of the impeller, to communicate with an outer periphery of the circulating circuit. The clutch chamber is divided by a clutch piston into an inner chamber portion on the side of the turbine impeller and an outer chamber portion on the side of the side cover. The clutch piston is axially movably connected to the turbine impeller, thereby constituting a lock-up clutch, so that a first oil passage leading to the outer chamber portion and a second oil passage leading to an inner periphery of the circulating circuit are put into alternate communication with a discharge portion of an oil pump and with an oil reservoir in a switched manner.

Abstract: In a driving apparatus for a four-wheel drive vehicle in accordance with the present invention, a multiple disc clutch is incorporated between a front wheel driving system and a rear wheel driving system, a hydraulic chamber is formed in a fixed casing supporting rotatably a front differential case in the front wheel driving system and a clutch piston is disposed in the hydraulic chamber. Bearings are disposed between the clutch piston and the front differential case in order to enable them to rotate relatively. Hydraulic pressure generated from hydraulic pressure generation means disposed outside each driving system is caused to act on the clutch piston so that the multiple disc clutch is operated by the press force of the clutch piston through the front differential case and the differential operation of the front and rear wheel is restricted in accordance with the operation force of the multiple disc clutch. Accordingly, the size in the radial direction can be reduced in the axial direction of the apparatus itself, and even if there is any limitation to the space, a large hydraulic pressure is permitted to act on the muliple disc clutch by forming only the small hydraulic chamber described above.

Abstract: A parking lock device mounted on a transmission without modifying the constitution of the base transmission as much as possible and is constituted in a compact size. A first coupling member 11 is spline-fitted and fixed to a rear end portion of an output shaft 1 of the transmission by using a fixing nut 5, and a second coupling member 12 is integrally coupled to the first coupling member 11. A continuously indented portion 11C is formed along the outer circumference of the first coupling member 11. In a park locked state, a pawl portion 31A of a parking pawl 31 arranged on the lower side is brought in mesh with the intended portion 11C. The parking lock device is mounted on the rear end portion of the output shaft 1, and does not require the basic portion of the transmission to be modified. The second coupling member 12 has an extended shaft portion 12C formed in the same shape as the rear end portion of the output shaft 1. Therefore, a coupling 13 connected to the propeller shaft of the vehicle may be a commonly used part irrespective of whether the parking lock device is mounted.
