Abstract: Cones or cone assemblies with one or two oppositely positioned torque transmitting devices, such as torque transmitting arcs of constant pitch (formed by torque transmitting members) or teeth. The torque transmitting devices will be used for torque transmission between at least one means for coupling, such as transmission belt or chain, and a cone or cone assembly. The cones or cone assemblies can be used to construct CVT's for which significant circumferential sliding between the torque transmitting surfaces of the torque transmitting devices and the torque transmitting surfaces of the means for coupling engaged to them due to change in pitch diameter can be eliminated, as to reduce wear and frictional energy loses typical in similar devices of prior art and allow the usage of positive engagement devices, such as teeth, in coupling the torque transmitting devices with their means for coupling.

Abstract: A mechanism (25) for transmitting torque from one or between several torque transmitting members (14A, 16A) for which sliding in the axial direction between the torque transmitting surface(s) of the mechanism (25) and the member(s) (14A, 16A) is eliminated when the mechanism (25) is moved relative to the surfaces of the members (14A, 16A) in the direction along the axis of the mechanism (25). This is achieved by dividing the torque transmitting surfaces of the mechanism (25) into several segments (30A, B, C, D), where during any instance a/the member(s) (14A, 16A) is/are in contact with at least one segment (30A, B, C, D) and at least one segment (30A, B, C, D) is not in contact with any member (14A, 16A). During the rotation of the mechanism (25) the segments (30A, B, C, D) alternately come in and out of contact with the members (14A, 16A).
