Patent number: 10598255Abstract: The reduction gear includes a pair of gears installed in parallel between two shafts and each provided with a mobile wheel free to move axially to engage in turn with one of the shafts and to transmit movement with different ratios. Since the gear teeth are helical, opposite forces on the reduction gear make it changeover from one reduction ratio to the other. No external control is necessary. Application to mechanical transmissions between an engine and a reversible electrical machine (starter or generator), that starts the motor with a large speed reduction and generates electricity with a smaller reduction.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: SAFRAN TRANSMISSION SYSTEMSInventors: Lionel Bauduin, Maxence Guillemont
