Patent ID: 7195574

Claim:
A motor vehicle transmission, comprising an input shaft ( 27 ) adapted to be drivingly connected to an output shaft of an internal combustion engine, a variator ( 22 , 40 ) having a first and a second input/output shaft ( 21 , 41 ), a planetary gear train ( 1 ) having at least two interconnected planetary gear sets ( 2 , 3 ) for splitting power between said input shaft ( 27 ) and one of said input/output shafts ( 21 , 41 ) when transmitting torque to an output of the transmission, first clutch means ( 13 ) having an engaged position establishing torque transmission between one of said input/output shafts and said output means via said planetary gear train and a disengaged position disrupting said torque transmission, a gear train ( 42 , 34 , 31 ) arranged to enable torque transmission from one of said first and second input/output shafts to said output means thereby by-passing said planetary gear train and second clutch means ( 39 ) having an engaged position establishing said last mentioned torque transmission and a disengaged position disrupting said last mentioned torque transmission, and wherein said gear train comprises a first gear wheel ( 42 ) drivable by one of said input/output shafts ( 41 ), a second gear wheel ( 34 ) mounted on an intermediate shaft ( 33 ) and drivable by said first gear wheel and a third gear wheel ( 31 ) rotatably journalled on the intermediate shaft and lockable on the intermediate shaft by said second clutch means ( 39 ) to transmit torque from one of said input-output shafts to said output, wherein said output is a gear wheel ( 35 ) which is non-rotatably journalled relative to said third gear wheel ( 31 ) and meshes with a crown wheel ( 36 ) of a differential.
