  • Patent number: 4350491
    Abstract: An infinitely variable cone-pulley, belt-type transmission having at least two cone-pulley pairs each mounted on a respective shaft, with one axially displaceable cone-pulley of each pair being formed as a rotating pressure cylinder of a piston firmly connected with the associated shaft, and the pressure application forces are generated hydraulically in the cylinder in dependence upon load and transmission ratio. Such transmissions are further provided with a transmission ratio setting member and a control slide valve coupled therewith which distributes the pressure fluid to the pressure cylinders, at least one adjustable pressure control valve controlling the application pressure, in dependence on load and transmission ratio, in the return conduit of the control slide valve for the hydraulic pressure necessary on the drive-output side of the transmission. The pressure control valve is mounted to rotate with one shaft and includes a valve body which is actuatable by a movable intermediate member, e.g.
