Patent ID: 6846255

Claim:
A pressure feed system for a variable speed shaft of a continuously variable transmission, the pressure feed system comprising: a hydraulic and a pneumatic control device from which a pressure line ( 10 ) containing a pressure fluid is connected a gearbox ( 2 ) of a transmission in which a shaft ( 1 ) is supported by at least one bearing ( 3 ); the gearbox defines a bearing bore whereby the bearing ( 3 ) is located axially about the shalt in the gearbox ( 2 ) by means of a retaining clip ( 5 ); a gearbox cover ( 6 ) which covers the bearing bore ( 4 ) of the gearbox ( 2 ) and has a pressure supply feed bore ( 8 ) through which the pressure fluid from the control device is fed to the shaft ( 1 ), the pressure line ( 10 ) comprises a tube ( 11 ) and a connector ( 12 ) inseparably connected in a pressure-tight manner to the tube ( 11 ), the tube and the connector are arranged between the control device and the feed bore ( 8 ) of the gearbox cover ( 6 ); and wherein the pressure supply feed bore ( 8 ) is formed in the gearbox cover ( 6 ) disposed parallel to and communicating with the shalt ( 1 ), and the tube ( 11 ) has a first end connected in a pressure-tight manner to a pressure outlet channel of the control device and a second end attached parallel to the shaft ( 1 ) through a collar ( 13 ) of the connector ( 12 ) into the feed bore ( 8 ) and the retaining clip ( 5 ) securing the bearing ( 4 ) additionally affixes the tube ( 11 ) through the collar ( 13 ) of the connection piece ( 12 ).
