  • Patent number: 4359910
    Abstract: In a shift mechanism for a change-speed gearing in a power transmission unit, a spring loaded movable element in the form of a piston is slidably disposed within a reverse shift head member to be pushed inwardly by engagement with a shift-and-select lever, and a stopper pin is integral with the movable element and movable between a first position in which the movable element is apart from the lever and a second position in which the movable element is engaged with the lever, the stopper pin being arranged to be located at its outer end adjacent to a stationary member to restrict unexpected forward movement of a reverse fork shaft in its first position and to be aligned with a recessed portion of the stationary member to permit the forward movement of the reverse fork shaft in its second position for establishment of a reverse gear train.

  • Patent number: 4261229
    Abstract: An automatic speed ratio control system of intergration servo mechanism type for a stepless transmission of an automotive vehicle. Speed ratio is controlled by a hydraulic pump motor of variable displacement type, which in turn is controlled by an actuator having a piston and a cylinder to which hydraulic oil is supplied. The system comprises a target value generator which produces a target value for an engine speed corresponding to a throttle opening or an output torque of an engine, or which produces a target value for an engine output torque corresponding to a throttle opening or an engine speed; a detector for producing a signal indicative of an engine speed or an output torque of an engine; a control signal generator for comparing the signal from the detector against the signal from the target value generator to produce a control signal in accordance with a deviation therebetween; and a controller responsive to the control signal to drive the actuator to change a speed ratio of the stepless transmission.

  • Patent number: 4220059
    Abstract: A speed ratio control system for a stepless variable speed transmission of vehicles having an electronic fuel injection control system. A speed ratio control signal for controlling the speed ratio of the stepless variable speed transmission is produced from the output fuel injection control signal from the electronic fuel injection control system and a target fuel injection quantity signal from an electronic arithmetic unit which generates the target fuel injection quantity signal in response to a throttle opening indication signal. The output fuel injection control signal is compared with the target fuel injection quantity signal to generate the speed ratio control signal which controls the speed ratio of the stepless variable speed transmission until the fuel injection indicated by the fuel injection from the electronic fuel injection system becomes equal to the target fuel injection quantity.
