Abstract: A transmission chain for a conical disk transmission with intercoupled links receiving link pins of which the end surfaces bear against the disks, and in which the contact zones between the longitudinal sides of the pins and the links are shorter than the upright sides of the link openings and offset in longitudinal direction of the links with respect to the ends of these sides.

Abstract: A mechanically operable clutch having a foot pedal used in connection with a transmission operated by a lever is arranged with an operating assembly physically connecting the clutch pedal to the clutch. The operating assembly includes a pair of pistons, one within the other having a lost motion connection including a compression spring between them. The inner piston being connected to the pedal and the outer piston to the clutch. The pistons form a chamber between them normally open to the atmosphere. A source of vacuum and a valve controlled by the transmission lever and operable when said lever is moved to place the transmission in neutral to connect the chamber to the vacuum source and thereby shift the pistons in such a way as to hold the clutch disengaged and the pedal erected so long as the transmission remains in neutral.

Abstract: A method of making elements with profiled cross-section from sheet metal for use in a driving belt by a rolling process, for providing a strip with a middle groove in longitudinal direction and by rolling the material continuously symmetrically with respect to that groove to two profiles punching out the elements on both sides of the middle groove, with their longitudinal direction in the direction of movement of the strip, according to lines which are located at accurately predetermined distances on both sides of the groove.

Abstract: In known V-belt automatic variable power transmissions the change in the gear ratio as a function of angular velocity or the number of revolutions at full throttle at high loads is a compromise between the desired performance of the vehicle and fuel consumption, emission, noise nuisance considerations. The invention obolishes this compromise by making the gear ratio constant in a determined region or range of angular velocities around the original change gear ratio and number of revolutions relationship. In a preferred embodiment this is achieved by the shape of the cam surfaces of the centrifugal weights which surfaces are almost straight over a determined portion thereof.

Abstract: A method of providing transverse elements to be arranged in a consecutive series side by side on a driving belt with curved surfaces by which they support the driving belt. The surfaces obtain a curvature by replacing the driving belt by an endless grinding band having grinding material on its inner side engaging the said surfaces and running the whole on two pulleys, one of which has a smaller diameter than the other one. The grinding band has longitudinal zones with different abrasing capacities, for example by providing the band with a longitudinal range of gaps in its middle zone. In this way the supporting surfaces obtain simultaneously a curvature in the running direction of the belt and in a direction opposite thereto.

Abstract: The variable V-belt drive for motor cars which up till this moment had the drawbacks that under many circumstances, especially when applying the brakes, the number of revolutions of the engine became uncomfortable high, resulting in an increased sound level, use of fuel, and transmission, has according to the invention then improved in the first place by that a switch responding to the number of revolutions influences the position of the movable disc of the primary pair of discs.

Abstract: The forming simultaneously of a series of cylindrical metal belts in a range of slightly different measures suitable to be fitted into each other into a multiple layer driving belt. The belts are formed from a series of blanks of tubular material, having the same diameter. Two parallel rotatable rolls, having a length exceeding the total length of the series of blanks are inserted through the series of blanks which are positioned side by side along the said length. One of the said inserted rolls is a stretch roll having a relatively small diameter with respect to a pair of work rolls of large diameter between which the tubing-stretch roll assembly is engaged in a position offset to one side of the plane containing the axes of the said work rolls.

Abstract: A fully hydraulic control mechanism for an infinitely variable cone pulley gear. The torque is transmitted by the intermediary of an oil cushion in a coupling between a driving and a driven element providing for a torque-dependent oil pressure in an oil circuit. The oil circuit delivers pressure on surfaces of different size of axially movable discs for primary and secondary cone pairs between which a transmission belt is running.The oil circuit leads from the primary to the secondary cone pair through a pressure reduction device which is under speed-ratio progressive control.
