  • Patent number: 7861839
    Abstract: A lock arrangement for a transmission, in particular in the form of a parking-lock arrangement for an automated transmission. The lock arrangement is prestressed by a first spring accumulator into a locking position in which the transmission is locked. The lock arrangement is capable of being shifted by means of an actuator from the locking position into a release position in which the transmission is released. The lock arrangement has an electronically activatable blocking device which is designed for blocking the lock arrangement mechanically in the locking position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7211023
    Abstract: A variator for a toroidal transmission, with a driving disk and with a driven disk, between which is set up a toroidal space which defines a toroidal reference circle. The variator, further, comprises at least two rollers which are arranged in the toroidal space for torque transfer between the driving disk and the driven disk. The rollers are in each case mounted rotatably on a roller carrier. The roller carriers are in each case spatially adjustable by means of a piston/cylinder arrangement, in order to adjust the transfer ratio of the variator. The pistons of the piston/cylinder arrangements are in each case adjustable along a stroke axis. Also, the pistons are connected to the roller carriers via respective levers.
