Patent ID: 7927241

Claim:
A driven pulley for a continuously-variable transmission (CVT), the driven pulley including a first sheave and a second sheave coaxially disposed and having mutually-opposed front side faces defining between them a belt-receiving groove, the first sheave having at least two ramps symmetrically-disposed with reference to the rotation axis, the second sheave having at least two rollers and corresponding mounting supports symmetrically disposed with reference to the rotation axis of the driven pulley, each roller being in engagement with a corresponding one of the ramps, the mounting supports being rigidly connected to an annular member, itself removably connected to the front side face of the second sheave, the annular member being perpendicularly-oriented and coaxially-disposed with reference to the rotation axis of the driven pulley, the rollers being held in the mounting supports by corresponding axles around which they are coaxially mounted, each axle having a first end inserted in a corresponding radially-oriented recess provided on a side face of the annular member facing the second sheave, and a second end supported by the corresponding mounting support, the first end of each axle engaging the front side face of the second sheave.
