  • Patent number: 7887451
    Abstract: The invention relates to an infinitely variable transmission comprising a support body, peripheral gears mounted on the support body or on elements that are coupled thereto such that the rotating shafts thereof are oriented parallel to each other. The distances between the rotational shafts of the peripheral gears can be adjusted to always be located on the outer surface of an (imaginary) cylinder; at least one row of elements which surround the peripheral gears and with which at least one of the peripheral gears engages; a rotational body, preferably coaxial to the axis of rotation of the (imaginary) cylinder, whose rotary movement is coupled to the rotary movement of the peripheral gears. The rotational coupling between the peripheral gears and the (central) rotational body is effected by means of one or more differentials, so that an asynchronous rotation of the peripheral gears is possible.
