Abstract: A transmission system including a first shaft (3), a first gear element (13, 16, 17, 21, 22, 25) rotatably mounted on the shaft (3), a selector assembly (29, 31, 33) arranged to selectively lock the first gear element (13, 16, 17, 21, 22, 25) for rotation with the first shaft (3) and a damping system (200; 300; . . . 1300) arranged to damp the locking of the first gear element (13, 16, 17, 21, 22, 25) with the first shaft (3). A gear element (13, 16, 17, 21, 22, 25) including first and second parts (202, 204; 302, 304; . . . 1002, 1004; 1202, 1204) that are arranged to rotate relative to each other and a damping system (200; 300; . . . 1000; 1300) for damping the relative rotational movement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a set of devices for changing the gear ratio in a gearbox without false neutral positions. A casing includes: on a first axis, the shaft of the crankset including a primary sprocket, a tertiary shaft including fixed tertiary sprockets and tertiary sprockets on a free wheel; on a second axis, a secondary shaft includes a primary sprocket and secondary sprockets with inner flutes capable of free rotation on a smooth cylindrical bearing of the secondary shaft. The claims also relate to the following devices: each secondary sprocket has associated thereto one or more ratchets urged by a spring into a flute of the smooth bearing. A shuttle controlled by the user and moving inside the shaft applies a pressure, via spring loaded tabs, on the ratchets of the associated sprocket, which permits the engagement of two neighbouring sprockets during a gear change without any blocking or false neutral position.

Abstract: A transmission shift system for idler wheels comprising at least one actuating device that actuates a respective sliding sleeve non-rotatably connected with a main shaft in order to bring the sliding sleeve to positive fit with an idler wheel to be shifted. It is provided that the shiftable idler wheel is disposed upon the main shaft directly juxtaposed in axial direction and that the respective actuating devices are provided as unit on the main shaft outside the group of idler wheels, each actuating device being connected with the respective sliding sleeve via at least one connecting element extending along the main shaft.

Abstract: A slidable transmission shaft for a manual transmission includes a plurality of closely-spaced splines at a second end, a first plurality of keys at a first end, which are slidably engagable to an impeller fastened to the crankshaft of a motor vehicle for high gear, and a second plurality of keys spaced from the first plurality of keys and which are slidably engagable to a clutch for low gear. This slidable transmission shaft can also achieve reverse by sliding into a position where neither of the plurality of keys are engaged.

Abstract: A change-speed transmission with a shift mechanism which selectively couples a plurality of change gears one at a time to a shaft on which the gears are journalled. The shift mechanism is disposed entirely within the transmission housing and includes a shift key arranged for axial sliding movement in a groove in the shaft. A pair of axially spaced projections at one end of the key project outwardly of the groove to embrace a collar which is journalled on the shaft. The collar is axially shifted on the shaft by a rotary shift fork which engages a circular groove in the collar to selectively position the key axially of the shaft in its several gear-engaging positions. A third radial projection at the other end of the key engages a different gear in each of the several positions thereby drivingly coupling the selected gear to the shaft to provide various forward drive speeds.
