  • Publication number: 20060090584
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a gear shift assembly for all-terrain vehicles which comprises a gear shift rod, for driving a transmission wheel to drive a first gear shift fork and a second gear shift fork to move for driving a first sliding member and a second sliding member of a gear shift to shift gears, wherein the first gear shift fork is disposed on the external periphery of a sleeve, and a guiding member and a spring are disposed in sequence on the gear shift fork to define a whole gear shift fork module on the sleeve by passing a pin of the first gear shift fork through the guiding member, such that the internal periphery of the gear shift fork module is coupled onto the gear shift fork rod. Thus, the invention can simplify the manufacturing process, lower costs and facilitate the assembly.

  • Patent number: 6938676
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a cooling structure for a continuous variation transmission system of an all-terrain vehicle. Primarily speaking, it has an inlet conduit attached to the air inlet of the gearbox, with said inlet conduit extending in front of the engine until it reaches the below of the front mud guard, and an inlet box attached to the inlet conduit. An exhaust conduit is also being attached to the exhaust of the gearbox, with said exhaust pipe extending to the rear of the engine until it reaches the below of the rear mud guard, and an exhaust box is attached to the exhaust conduit. Both the inlet box and the exhaust box are placed above the tail of the engine exhaust conduit, and situated on the outer surface of the chassis. The inlet and exhaust box design prevents dust, dirt and water from entering the gearbox. Furthermore, the conduits are installed on the outer surface of the chassis to enable ease of assembly and maintenance, and to reduce the difficulty of installing other components.
