Zusammenfassung: | A toothed body of generally conical shape, on an output shaft, is engaged by one of two constantly meshing pinions whose mate slides on a driven input shaft. The teeth of the body form several axially adjoining zones which may be successive turns of a helicoidal spiral, or a succession of coaxial arcuate shoulders of progressively increasing diameter separated by eccentric ramps of intermediate curvature. The two pinions are mounted on a carriage, swingable about the input shaft, with the off-axial pinion biased into permanent engagement with the toothed body. At least in the case of a helicoidally spiraling track, a worm drive coupled with the output shaft causes a continuous axial displacement of the carriage during rotation of the input shaft to provide a substantially continuously changing transmission ratio. |
