Cam discs 5 of adjacent rotational radius adjusting mechanisms 4 are formed integrally with each other as an integral cam portion 5c so as to extend across the adjacent rotational radius adjusting mechanisms 4.

Abstract: When six transmission units of a vehicle power transmission device are defined as unit #1, unit #2, unit #3, unit #4, unit #5 and unit #6 in order from one end side in the axial direction toward the other end side, the phase of unit #6 relative to the phase of unit #1, the phase of unit #2 relative to the phase of unit #6, the phase of unit #4 relative to the phase of unit #2, the phase of unit #3 relative to the phase of unit #4, the phase of unit #5 relative to the phase of unit #3, and the phase of unit #1 relative to the phase of unit #5 are each displaced by 60° in the same direction, and therefore, even if an unbalanced load due to centrifugal force acting on eccentric disks of each of the transmission units is generated, it is possible to minimize the load acting on bearings supporting opposite ends of the input shaft and reduce the vibration.

Abstract: A vehicular power transmission device including a crank type continuously variable transmission is provided in which when the vehicle transitions to the deceleration traveling state, a second one-way clutch (69) is engaged to thus transmit to an engine (E) the driving force that has been transmitted back via auxiliary driving force transmission method (54), thereby enabling engine braking to be operated.

Abstract: A vehicular power transmission including a crank type continuously variable transmission is provided in which when the rotational speed of an engine during deceleration fuel cut-off is at least a first rotational speed, which is an upper limit of rotational speed at which plunging of a starter motor is possible, but less than a second rotational speed, which is a lower limit of rotational speed at which self-ignition of the engine is possible. The engine is cranked and restarted by transmitting the driving force of an electric motor of a shift actuator to an input shaft via first and second engagement portions. This eliminates the need for restarting the engine with the starter motor by waiting until the rotational speed of the engine has become less than the first rotational speed, thus reducing the time required for restarting the engine. Moreover, the electric motor can be made small.

The distance Lcon between an input-side fulcrum P3 and an output-side fulcrum P5 satisfies the following conditional expression: Lcon<?(Lp2+R12?R22) where Lp is the distance between the rotational center axis P1 of the input shaft and the rotational center axis P4 of the output shaft, R1 is the distance between the rotational center axis P1 of the input shaft and the input-side fulcrum P3 when the amount of eccentricity of a rotational radius adjusting mechanism 4 is a predetermined value, and R2 is the distance between the rotational center axis P4 of the output shaft and the output-side fulcrum P5.

Abstract: Six transmission units of a vehicle power transmission device are arranged side by side at equal intervals and intermittently transmit driving force with different phases. The phase of unit #4 relative to unit #1, the phase of unit #5 relative to unit #4, the phase of unit #2 relative to unit #5, the phase of unit #3 relative to unit #2, the phase of unit #6 relative to unit #3, and the phase of unit #1 relative to unit #6, are displaced by 60° in the same direction. If an unbalanced load due to the centrifugal force acting on eccentric disks of the transmission units occurs, the load acting on bearings supporting opposite end parts of an input shaft can be minimized and vibration reduced.
