Abstract: [Object] A unidirectional clutch can reduce a backlash without increasing the number of components, and also can improve silence and durability. [Means of Solving Problem] In a planet gear member 4 including a planet gear 4a which meshes an internal gear 2b of an outer member 2, locking teeth 4b are provided coaxially and integrally relative to the planet gear through a flange 4c. In an inner member 3, U-shaped wall portions 3b receiving the locking teeth 4b are provided. In the U-shaped wall portion, an engaging portion 5 is provided so that teeth of one portion of the locking teeth can engage. A locked state is attained by the locking teeth, so that even if the planet gear receives a restriction of the number of teeth, the number of the teeth (pitch) of the locking teeth can be finely set arbitrarily.

The invention is suited to a reduction gear mounted in a high bypass ratio jet engine for driving the fan thereof.

Abstract: A portable power tool with a housing, a motor having a motor output member, a driven member and a transmission. The transmission, which is located in the housing, is configured to receive a rotary input from the motor output member and to produce a rotary output that is transmitted to the output spindle. The transmission has a plurality of planetary transmission stages, each of which including a ring gear, a planet carrier and a plurality of planet gears that are supported by the planet carrier for meshing engagement with the ring gear. The transmission further includes at least one member that may be configured in a first condition, which renders at least one of the planetary transmission stages operable in an active mode, and a second condition, which renders at least one of the planetary transmission stages operable in an inactive mode. The transmission is operable in at least three overall speed reduction ratios.

Abstract: A multi-speed transmission assembly for a rotary power tool. The transmission assembly includes a plurality of transmission stages, with at least two of the transmission stages employing a movable reduction element that permits the transmission stage to be operated in an active mode and an inactive mode. The movable reduction elements are coupled to a switching mechanism that switches the reduction elements in a predetermined manner to provide at least three-gear reduction or speed ratios.

Abstract: In a planetary gear, at least one planet wheel (9) is coupled by a freewheel (19) to the planet carrier (7), and the sun wheel (3) is coupled by a freewheel (13) to a center spindle (1) fixed to a casing. By the freewheels (13, 19), it is achieved that the gearing effect is released or non-positively bridged depending on the driving direction. When the direction of rotation is reversed, the freewheels (13, 19) in both directions of rotation block the planetary gear "solid" and thus the power transmission. One application is, e.g., in integrated starter/generator assemblies for internal combustion engines.

Abstract: A powertrain used for a 5-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain includes a first compound planetary gearset and a second compound planetary gearset. The first compound planetary gearset includes first and second simple planetary gearsets having first, second, third and fourth operating elements. The second compound planetary gear unit includes third and fourth simple planetary gearsets having fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth operating elements. The fifth operating element acts as an output element, and the first operating element acts as an input element. The fifth and sixth operating elements are variably connected to the second operating element, and the seventh operating element is fixedly connected to the fourth operating element. Clutches are disposed to variably connect the fifth and sixth operating elements to the second operating element. Brakes are interposed between the fourth and eighth operating elements and a transmission housing.

Abstract: The invention comprises a simple and efficient transmission for varying speed and engagement of power, comprising a planetary drive with input means driven by a prime mover's output, scheduled friction clutch means for gradually slowing and stopping rotation of an idler wheel member of the planetary drive so that as the force of the clutch is increased, power is automatically transferred from the idler wheel member to the output of the planetary drive, starting with a slow speed with high torque to a fast speed with lower torque by scheduled increments which enable rotation of the output shaft, under load resistance, without prime mover stall.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission includes a power input driving a sun gear which in turn drives a plurality of planetary gears. Within each planetary gear is mounted an over-rolling clutch. The planet gear is free to rotate about its raceway in one direction and is locked from rotation in the opposite direction. The shaft mountings for each planetary gear are suitably journalled in a carrier ring rotatably mounted within the housing. An internal gear, integrally mounted within the output housing, meshes with the planetary gears and is driven by them. An eccentric system, comprised of two nested eccentrics within the housing and anchored to an axle, controls the degree of oscillation imparted to the planetary gear raceway shafts. The eccentric system is continuously positionable so as to increase the rotation of the input sun gear from a one-to-one ratio up to the maximum designed output.
