Abstract:
1. A transmission system for rotatably coupling an input shaft with an output shaft about a longitudinal axis, the transmission comprising: a continuous variable transmission comprising: an input rotating member rotatably connected to the input shaft; an output rotating member; a toroidal disc provided between the input rotating member and the output rotating member; and a toroidal disc arm connected to the toroidal disc and operable to pivot the toroidal disc between multiple positions between the input rotating member and the output rotating member; and an output torque sensing control mechanism comprising: a spring positioned proximate to the input shaft; and an intermediary output shaft rotatably connected to the output rotating member, the intermediary output shaft having an internally threaded portion matably receivable with an externally threaded portion of the output shaft, the intermediary output shaft movable in the longitudinal direction as the intermediary output shaft is threaded with the output shaft a first longitudinal member having ends and provided between the spring and the toroidal disc arm; and a second longitudinal member having ends and provided between the toroidal disc arm and the intermediary output shaft.
