  • Patent number: 9939027
    Abstract: A switching device for a motor vehicle transmission includes a coupling component, several transmission shafts which each are rotatable about a transmission axis, a frictional contact ring including a friction cone and being substantially non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with a transmission shaft, a form-fit ring including a cone surface and being substantially non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the coupling component, as well as an actuating body including a cone surface and being substantially non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the coupling component. The friction cone of the frictional contact ring extends between the cone surface of the form-fit ring and the cone surface of the actuating body.

  • Patent number: 9797458
    Abstract: A shifting device for a motor vehicle transmission includes several transmission shafts which each are rotatable about a transmission axis, a synchronizer ring which is firmly connected with a transmission shaft, a first disk carrier, a plurality of first disks which are non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the first disk carrier, a second disk carrier which is axially shiftable relative to the first disk carrier and in circumferential direction can be coupled with the synchronizer ring both frictionally and positively, a plurality of second disks which are non-rotatably and axially shiftably connected with the second disk carrier and form a multidisk clutch with the first disks, and an actuating body for axially pressurizing the second disk carrier, wherein the actuating body and the second disk carrier are rotatable relative to each other in circumferential direction and substantially are firmly connected with each other in axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20070181399
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wrap spring clutch comprising a first shaft; a wrap spring wound around the first shaft in a winding direction and comprising wrap spring ends; and comprising a second hollow shaft arranged around the wrap spring to be concentric to the first shaft, characterized by an actuator for applying a controlled tangential force onto at least one of the wrap spring ends in a direction opposite to the winding direction of the wrap spring.
