  • Patent number: 5460578
    Abstract: Transmission with integrated brake particularly but not exclusively usable for vehicles. The transmission includes, in an oil bath inside a containment and support casing, an epicyclic reduction unit which is kinematically connectable to a drive unit by means of at least two gears, of which the driven one is axially fixed, is coaxial to a sun gear of the reduction unit and is associated therewith by means of a splined coupling. A disk brake is arranged between the epicyclic reduction unit and the driven gear and has at least one first disk rigidly coupled to an internally toothed ring gear which is rigidly coupled to the containment casing and at least one second disk which is rigidly coupled so as to rotate together with the driven gear. The disk brake is associated with axially movable packing pushers.

  • Patent number: 4735104
    Abstract: An input shaft is keyed to a first bevel gear, in constant mesh engagement with a second bevel gear keyed to a countershaft and rigidly associated with a first clutch, for causing a first pinion to become rotatively engaged with or disengaged from the input shaft. The second bevel gear is rigidly associated with a second clutch for causing a second pinion to become rotatively engaged with or disengaged from the countershaft. The first and the second pinions are in constant mesh engagement with an output bevel gear keyed to an output shaft, so that by selectively engaging one of the clutches and disengaging another of the clutches, the input and output shafts can be selectively caused to rotate counter-directionally or co-directionally. The axes of the shafts converge towards a common point to simplify the gear arrangements.
