Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 6340. Gawron, R., and Gawron, J. March 15. Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-A friction change-speed driving-gear, suitable for a motorvehicle, comprises a hollow driving-cone, a driven cone upon a perpendicular axis, and an intermediate adjustable roller. The driving-shaft 1 carries the internal cone 2 for the variable drive, a fixed clutch 15<1> for effecting a direct drive with the driven shaft 16, and a friction pinion 24 for reversing. The driven cone 3 slides on a feather &c. on a shaft 4, from which the power passes by way of a bevel-wheel 23, and a wheel 18 on a sleeve 15<2> loose on the shaft 16. A cylindrical or doubly-conical roller 5 communicates the power from the cone 2 to the cone 3, and a clutch 15, slidable on the shaft 16, causes either the sleeve 15<2> or the clutch 15<1> to rotate with the shaft 16. When the wheel 18 is disconnected, the cone 3 is thrown out of gear by being thrust towards the shaft 16, and this is rendered possible by having the wheel 23 slidable on the boss of the cone and thrust to the left by a spring 22<1>. The roller 5 is carried by a frame 6 actuated through a rack 7 by a toothed sector &c. 8. When the frame 6 is moved to the right to increase the velocity-ratio, it finally strikes a rod 19 which pivots about a pin 21 and throws the cone 3 out of action. It then engages the end 9<1> of a rod 9 and through links &c. 12<1>, 12, 13 throws the direct fast drive into action. On moving the frame 6 to the left, the end 10<1> of a rod 10 is engaged, and this being attached to the rod 19 causes this rod to pivot about a pin 20 and again throw the cone 3 out of action. Further movement of the frame 6 brings the cone 3 into engagement with the pinion 24 effecting the reverse through the gears 23, 18. In a modification, the shaft 4 is the driven shaft of the gear, and the speed corresponding to the direct clutch drive is effected through bevel-gearing.
