摘要： A control arm is coupled to a control shaft of a hydraulic pump. A friction shaft extends parallel to the control shaft and is slidably moveable within an arcuate-shaped hole in the control arm. A stop plate is movably supported by the control shaft and the friction shaft. When the stop plate is in the operating position, a friction pad supported by the friction shaft is biased by a pressure plate and a spring against the control arm. When the stop plate is in the braking position, a sloping region of the stop plate engages a pin extending from the pressure plate such that the friction pad is spaced from the control arm and arcuate-shaped grooves in the stop plate engage pins extending from the control arm in a neutral position. The present invention also includes a hydrostatic transmission and a vehicle incorporating the cruise control and neutral return mechanism.

摘要： A bi-directional overrunning clutch comprising an input gear, a pair of hubs, and a roller assembly is provided. Each hub is engaged to an end of one of a pair of shaft segments of a primary drive axle. The roller assembly is disposed within the input gear and about at least a portion of each hub. The roller assembly includes spring pins, extending from the roller assembly, with ball locks adapted to engage detents on the surface of each hub, so as to form spring pin engagements between the roller assembly and the hubs. In operation, rotation of the input gear causes rotation of the roller assembly. Thereafter, rotation of the roller assembly causes rotation of the hubs via the spring pin engagements. The spring pins, however, are generally adapted to disengage the spring pin engagements when one of the hubs rotates faster than the other hub.

摘要： A transaxle for a working vehicle including a housing, an integrated hydrostatic transmission (IHT) disposed within the housing, and a bi-directional overrunning clutch disposed within the housing and coupled to an output shaft of the IHT. The bi-directional overrunning clutch includes an input gear having a central opening, a roller assembly disposed within the central opening of the input gear, a plurality of rollers for selective engagement with the input gear, and a pair of hubs. Each hub is disposed at least partially within the roller assembly. The transaxle further includes a pair of clutch covers. Each clutch cover is disposed at either end of the roller assembly and each clutch cover is coupled directly to the roller assembly. The bi-directional overrunning clutch further includes a pair of friction members. Each friction member is disposed between one of the hubs and respective clutch cover. The transaxle also includes a pair of shaft segments of a primary drive axle.

Each hub is engaged to an end of one of a pair of shaft segments of a primary drive axle. The roller assembly is disposed within the input gear and about at least a portion of each hub. The roller assembly includes rollers disposed within recesses of the roller assembly. The roller assembly also includes a spring extending from the roller assembly to exert frictional forces between the roller assembly and the hubs. In operation, rotation of the input gear causes rotation of the roller assembly. Thereafter, rotation of the roller assembly causes rotation of the hubs via the engagements between the rollers and the hubs.
