  • Patent number: 12006988
    Abstract: Transmission gear box (1) comprising, at least partially accommodated in the housing (1), an output shaft (6), a rotating drive member (5) mounted to rotate freely about the shaft (6), a system (2) for rotating the rotating drive member (5) in forward and reverse gear and, arranged between the shaft (6) and the rotating drive member (5), a clutch mechanism (3) having an engaged state and a disengaged state, wherein the shaft (6) is free to rotate in any of the directions of rotation thereof, the automatic clutch mechanism (3) being configured, in forward gear, to shift from the disengaged state to the engaged state by rotating in forward gear the motor member (5) when the speed of rotation of the rotating drive member (5) is higher than that of the shaft (6), and from the engaged state to the disengaged state by rotating in forward gear the shaft (6) when the speed of rotation of the shaft (6) is higher than the speed of rotation of the rotating drive member (5).

  • Patent number: 11987220
    Abstract: Gear box (1) comprising a gearbox body (2) defining a cavity (3) and, housed inside the cavity (3), an output shaft, and a braking device mounted on a rotating shaft (9), this braking device comprising two activatable brakes (61, 62), two stops (71, 72) mechanically coupled to one another and surrounding the brakes (61, 62), and a control member (8) for moving the brakes (61, 62), common to the two brakes (61, 62), and mounted to move between an inactive braking position and an active braking position, at least one of the stops (71, 72) forming an end-of-travel stop limiting the movement of the brakes (61, 62) in the active braking position of the control member (8).

  • Publication number: 20220186793
    Abstract: Transmission gear box (1) comprising, at least partially accommodated in the housing (1), an output shaft (6), a rotating drive member (5) mounted to rotate freely about the shaft (6), a system (2) for rotating the rotating drive member (5) in forward and reverse gear and, arranged between the shaft (6) and the rotating drive member (5), a clutch mechanism (3) having an engaged state and a disengaged state, wherein the shaft (6) is free to rotate in any of the directions of rotation thereof, the automatic clutch mechanism (3) being configured, in forward gear, to shift from the disengaged state to the engaged state by rotating in forward gear the motor member (5) when the speed of rotation of the rotating drive member (5) is higher than that of the shaft (6), and from the engaged state to the disengaged state by rotating in forward gear the shaft (6) when the speed of rotation of the shaft (6) is higher than the speed of rotation of the rotating drive member (5).
