| 20110079097 | TWO-SPEED TRANSMISSION FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES - The transmission comprises: a primary shaft; a secondary shaft; a gearing of first speed comprising a first driving gearwheel carried by the primary shaft and a first driven gearwheel carried by the secondary shaft and permanently meshing with the first driving gearwheel; a gearing of second speed comprising a second driving gearwheel carried by the primary shaft and a second driven gearwheel carried by the secondary shaft and permanently meshing with the second driving gearwheel; an overrunning clutch associated to one of the first driving gearwheel and first driven gearwheel to allow the transmission of the torque via the gearing of first speed only in the direction from the primary shaft to the secondary shaft; a first coupling device arranged to connect either of the first driving gearwheel and first driven gearwheel, namely the gearwheel to which the overrunning clutch is associated, for rotation directly with the respective shaft, so as to allow the transmission of the torque via the gearing of first speed also in the direction from the secondary shaft to the primary shaft; and a second coupling device arranged to connect either of the second driving gearwheel and second driven gearwheel for rotation with the respective shaft. The first and second coupling devices are both shiftable between an open condition and a closed condition independently of each other. The first coupling device is normally open, whereas the second coupling device is normally closed. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20100065391 | DOUBLE-CONE SYNCHRONIZER FOR VEHICLE TRANSMISSIONS - The synchronizer comprises: a hub, an actuating sleeve, two synchronizing rings each having a conical surface, two inner rings each having a conical surface, two intermediate rings each having a first radially outer conical surface arranged to be brought into contact with the conical surface of the associated synchronizing ring and a second radially inner conical surface arranged to be brought into contact with the conical surface of the associated inner ring, two engagement ring gears intended to be torsionally coupled each to a respective idle gearwheel. According to the invention, the synchronizer further comprises two spacer rings which are each interposed between the respective engagement ring gear and the respective inner ring and each free to rotate relative to these two components so as to prevent the respective opposite axial surfaces from coming into contact with each other. | 03-18-2010 |
