  • Automatic transmission for vehicles
    Patent number: 6537169
    Abstract: An automatic transmission includes an input first rotating member, an output second rotating member coaxial with the first rotating member, a third rotating member coaxial with the first rotating member, and a rotation transmitting element mounted on the third rotating member to transmit rotation of the first rotating member to the second rotating member so that the second rotating member is rotated at a predetermined reduction ratio exceeding 1 in a direction of rotation of the first rotating member in a stopped state of the third rotating member. The reduction ratio is increased as a difference between numbers of revolution of the first and third rotating members is rendered larger. The third rotating member is bidirectionally rotatable.
