Patent number: 10788125Abstract: A first dog ring and a second dog ring are biased toward each other by means of springs. When the first dog ring and the second dog ring are moved away from each other, bias force produced by the springs is applied to the second dog ring in a direction to draw the second dog ring toward the first dog ring. Accordingly, when the first dog ring is moved away from the second dog ring during shifting, the second dog ring is drawn toward the first dog ring under the bias force, and third engaging teeth of the second dog ring and meshing teeth of a first-speed gear are promptly disengaged from each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TOYOTA MOTORSPORT GmbHInventors: Shinichi Takeuchi, Akihiko Ichikawa, Junichi Muraoka, Kotaro Hoshihara, Tomohiro Yoshimura, Jun Yabuta, Klemens Pollmeier, Lars Van Leeuwen, Andree Miller

Patent number: 9506551Abstract: A clutch and gear synchronizer module includes an actuator disposed radially with respect to the transmission shaft and carried by an actuator carrier connected to the transmission shaft for rotation with the transmission shaft. The actuator includes an offset pin coupled to a shift sleeve that is able to move axially with respect to the transmission shaft thereby causing axial and rotational movement of the offset pin and rotation of the actuator about an actuator axis. The actuator includes a lobe and a pawl. Sequentially, the lobe engages a friction ring thereby causing the friction ring to engage the gear and causing the gear to rotate in synchronization with the transmission shaft. As the shift sleeve moves further towards the gear, the pawl then engages clutch teeth disposed on an annular surface of the gear.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventor: Wesley L.

Patent number: 8245828Abstract: A device for rotationally fixing a shaft to a component that is rotatably arranged on the shaft. The actuating element positively engages the components to rotationally fix the components to the shaft. The difference in rotational speeds, between the component and the shaft, can be at least approximately compensated for by the actuating element. The actuating element, for rotationally fixing the component to the shaft by the actuator, is operatively connected to at least one support body, which is rotationally fixed with respect to the shaft in such a manner that the actuating element can act upon the component with an actuating force that depends on the torque to be transmitted from the shaft to the component and which is independent of the actuation of the actuator in the state in which the actuating element can be rotated relative to the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Matthias Reisch, Mark Mohr

Patent number: 7506739Abstract: A strut-type synchronizer for coupling a gear to a rotating shaft includes a hub rotating with the shaft, a clutch ring rotatable with the gear, and a friction ring disposed between the hub and the clutch ring. The hub supports several struts for relative axial movement, as urged by an encircling splined sleeve through a detent, into engagement with the friction ring. The friction ring, which does not itself directly engage the sleeve, has a friction surface that is thus urged by the struts into engagement with a complementary friction surface of the clutch ring, whereupon relative rotation between the friction ring and the clutch ring ceases, the detent is overcome, and the sleeve's spline teeth engage complementary spline teeth on the clutch ring to fully engage the synchronizer. The friction surfaces include two axially-spaced frustoconical portions, by which an increased cone torque is achieved during synchronization.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Chrysler LLCInventor: Syed T Razzacki

To support the synchronization process, first and second recesses are formed in the inner peripheral face of the gearshift sleeve, and locking blocks with a spring-loaded ball are provided on the synchronizer body, which engage in the recesses in certain shift positions. For preliminary and subsequent synchronization, the first and second recesses formed in the inner peripheral face of the gearshift sleeve be radially and axially offset and each cooperate with a spring-loaded ball.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2005Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventor: Thorsten Boeger

Patent number: 6295885Abstract: A manual automobile transmission includes a non-rotating reverse gear having an internal spline in the front portion of the reverse gear and a needle roller bearing mounted at the rear portion. The bearing supports the gear and allows the main shaft to rotate without the gear turning when the transmission is not in the reverse mode. A separate splined collar is mounted on the shaft. Internal splines on the collar readily engage the splines on the main shaft and extended splines match the reverse gear splines. A small spring ball is inserted in the gear just forward of the splines to facilitate alignment of the gear and splined collar.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1999Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Inventor: Robert Delsole
