  • Patent number: 6694835
    Abstract: The power transmission mechanism has a first gear secured to an input shaft. A second gear connectable to the input shaft through a clutch mechanism is provided around the input shaft through a one-way clutch that allows the input shaft to rotate freely in the direction of rotation of the driving force from the engine when the clutch mechanism is in a disengaged state but does not permit rotation of the second gear relative to the input shaft in an opposite direction. A brake mechanism is provided to restrain the rotation of the second gear. A third gear is in mesh with the first gear. A fourth gear is in mesh with the second gear. The power transmission mechanism further has first to third bevel gears. The gear ratio between the first and third gears is equal to that between the second and fourth gears.

  • Publication number: 20030029260
    Abstract: A power transmission mechanism for use in a toy vehicle with an engine that realizes a smooth shift between a forward operation and a reverse operation with a relatively simple structure is provided. The power transmission mechanism has a first gear secured to an input shaft. A second gear connectable to the input shaft through a clutch mechanism is provided around the input shaft through a one-way clutch that allows the input shaft to rotate freely in the direction of rotation of the driving force from the engine when the clutch mechanism is in a disengaged state but does not permit rotation of the second gear relative to the input shaft in a direction opposite to the rotational direction of the driving force. A brake mechanism is provided to restrain the rotation of the second gear. A third gear is in mesh with the first gear. A fourth gear is in mesh with the second gear. The power transmission mechanism further has first to third bevel gears.
