20140243146 | INFINITELY VARIABLE TRACTION DRIVE EMPLOYING ALTERNATE STEERABLE ROLLERS - The invention relates to a method for achieving a continuously variable transmission. A power transmission is realized by a drive and driven members creating at least one point of a contact between each other. Each of members may be at least one roller pressed against an opposite members surfaces with virtual surfaces. The method consists in adjustment of movement directions between the surfaces and the roller defined by a first movement vector of the surface relative to contact point, a second movement vector of the roller and a third movement vector of rolling direction of the roller, a steering angle and a correction angle. The steering angle is varied in accordance with a desired transmission ratio and lateral/thrust load on the roller while respecting the deformability of the contact points. | 08-28-2014 |
20140257655 | OVER CLAMPING PROTECTION METHOD AND CLAMPING MECHANISM THEREFOR - A method where the spin factor is looked up in a table; the slip factor is measured and the clamping pressure is adjusted to achieve a slip/spin ratio provided in a desired range is described herein. According to another aspect, an active mechanical clamping mechanism using a longitudinally movable contact point is also described. | 09-11-2014 |
20140349805 | Continuously Variable Transmission Provided with a Roller Parking Zone - Generally stated, various embodiments described herein concern a toroidal CVT provided with parking zones where the rollers are brought when the CVT is powered down. More specifically, a portion of the toroidal surfaces of the disks is reserved as a parking zone therefore preventing premature wear and/or damages to the working portion of the disks. | 11-27-2014 |

20130123062 | CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION - A variable transmission arrangement having enhances power output and high efficiency is disclosed. The arrangement provides paired rollers positioned within retaining rotating elements for co-action with, for example, toroidal disks forming full toroidal cavity. The high efficiency is realized by minimizing spin between contracted rollers and toroidal disks. This is achieved by alignment of the rollers so that all corresponding rotational axes and lines tangential to contacting points, namely the input and output rotational axes as well as those of the rollers themselves intersect, thus minimizing spin. This relationship ensures the highest traction and reduced slip necessary for maximizing the output and power density. As many as nine pairs of wedged rollers can be used for overall ratio of 5:1 with ability to provide adequate and proportional clamping while respecting the geometric imperfections of the contacting surfaces. In a simplest configuration paired balls can be used where the balls exhibit self-alignment properties, thus minimizing the spin | 05-16-2013 |

20140242892 | ROTARY ABRASIVE BRUSH FOR DEBURRING AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING - A rotary tool containing a core hub with helical groove on its outer surface filled in with continuous abrasive filament formed by folding of a pre-cut abrasive sheet including multiple bristle like straps extending radially from the hub. The method of manufacturing includes the steps of providing a hub, and forming a helical groove with inverted V-shaped cross-section along its cylindrical surface. An abrasive element is wound around the hub so that the folded edge is fed in the V-grove and is buckled inside the groove providing, along with securing it by sufficient pre-tension of the abrasive element, a secure anchoring of the abrasive element through locking of the buckled edge. The abrasive filament is formed from a roll of abrasive cloth as one continuous piece using a cutting operation and is provided with center-line perforations. These perforations assist folding the filament by providing it with discrete and desired flexibility as well as weakening it in such way that it assists the process of folded edge buckling inside the groove during winding and therefore forms a tight anchoring junction with the hub without need for an adhesive. | 08-28-2014 |
