Patent number: 10443664Abstract: A synchronizing device for a transmission has a sliding sleeve comprising an internal toothing with a plurality of sliding sleeve teeth and a clutch body of a gear wheel, comprising n external toothing with a plurality of clutch body teeth formed without meshing bevel at their axial tooth end close to the sliding teeth, into which the internal toothing of the sliding sleeve can engage. A synchronizing unit is provided which can block axial movement of the sliding sleeve, until the speeds of the sliding sleeve and clutch body are adapted. During operation, an axial force of the sliding sleeve against the clutch body is built up and a speed difference between the sliding sleeve and the clutch body is produced, so that the end faces of the sliding sleeve teeth and the clutch body teeth slide along each other, and the sliding sleeve teeth finally are meshed between the clutch body teeth.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: HOERBIGER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK HOLDING GMBHInventors: Ottmar Back, Ansgar Damm

Patent number: 10400831Abstract: A method for shifting a gear in a synchronizer comprising a synchronizer body arranged on a transmission shaft, a first and a second synchronizer associated to a first and a second transmission gear, wherein the synchronizer has a sliding sleeve and at least one thrust piece which is shiftably arranged on the synchronizer body and can exert an axial compressive force on the corresponding synchronizer ring. The synchronizer includes an elastic actuating element active between the sliding sleeve and the thrust piece, and the sliding sleeve has a detent recess for the neutral position and a release contour that can cooperate with the actuating element such that when the sliding sleeve is shifted for being engaged with one of the transmission gears, the thrust piece is urged away from the corresponding synchronizer ring.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: HOERBIGER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK HOLDING GMBHInventor: Ottmar Back
