Patent number: 10920883Abstract: A vehicle transmission includes a toothed gear, a shift sleeve, a shift fork configured to actuate the shift sleeve, and a fork bend partially surrounding the shift sleeve in an installed state. At least one region of the fork bend has an axial step. The at least one region having the axial step has a shape of a circular ring section substantially extending at an angle of 180 degrees in a circumferential direction of the fork bend. The axial step has two radially adjacent sections arranged axially offset in relation to one another. One section of the fork bend partially engages in the toothed gear in an initial switching state and a second section of the fork bend overlaps with one side wall of a groove in the shift sleeve in an axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: DAIMLER AGInventor: Helmut Bender

Patent number: 6684725Abstract: A system includes a unit for controlling a transmission line of a motor vehicle with a transmission. The transmission has a plurality of wheel sets for engaging and disengaging transmission gears and a plurality of shift clutches which can be operated by an operating device for engaging and disengaging transmission gears. In the transmission, at least one shift clutch to be shifted is operable while a shifted shift clutch is still engaged. The unit (10) is designed to guide at least during one shifting operation the shift clutch (S1,3, S2,4, S5,6) to be shifted to its synchronizing point when the shifted shift clutch (S1,3, S2,4, S5,6) is still engaged, and to guide an input clutch (11) of the transmission at least before the end of a synchronizing operation of the shift clutch (S1,3, S2,4, S5,6) to be shifted by way of an actuator (12) of the transmission into its opening position.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2002Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventor: Helmut Bender
