61 Multi-speed transmission US13817347 2011-08-17 US08689655B2 2014-04-08 Roberto Diani; Paolo Neri; Fabio Belletti
A multi-speed transmission for a motor vehicle, in particular for a sports car, has several forward speeds and a reverse speed, an input or primary shaft, a first output or secondary shaft for driving a first drive shaft leading to an axle differential, and a second output shaft or tertiary shaft for driving a second drive shaft leading to another axle differential. The first output or secondary shaft and the second output or tertiary shaft carry two meshing fixed gears. The fixed gear on the first output or secondary shaft meshes with an idle gear on the input or primary shaft. In one of the forward speeds the idle gear coupled in a rotationally restrained manner with the input or primary shaft directly drives the fixed gear on the first output or secondary shaft.
62 MULTI-SPEED TRANSAXLE FOR ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLE APPLICATION US13996774 2011-12-14 US20140051538A1 2014-02-20 David W. Wenthen; John R. Forsyth
An electric drive module for transferring torque to wheels of a motor vehicle a planetary gearset having a first member driven by the rotor and a second member. A synchronizer restricts a third member of the planetary gearset from rotation when the electric drive module operates at a first drive ratio. The synchronizer transfers energy from the rotating rotor to the third member during a shift between the first drive ratio and a second drive ratio to match the rotational speeds of the rotor and the second member. A reduction unit includes an input member being driven by the second member and also includes an output member driven at a reduced speed relative to the input member. A differential assembly includes an input driven by the output member, a first differential output driving a first output shaft, and a second differential output driving a second output shaft.
63 DISCONNECTING REAR DRIVE AXLE FOR LONGITUDINALLY ARRANGED POWERTRAINS US13395209 2010-12-08 US20120238394A1 2012-09-20 Paul J. Valente; James P. Downs
A powertrain with a disconnecting rear drive axle generally includes a prime mover including an output that rotates about a rotational axis. A transmission includes an output that rotates about a rotational axis. The rotational axes of the outputs are substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the powertrain. A front driveline is operable to direct rotary power from the prime mover to front vehicle wheels. A rear driveline includes a propeller shaft that provides rotary power to a first shaft member and a second shaft member through a pinion and a ring gear. The first shaft member and the second shaft are operable to connect to rear vehicle wheels. A power switching mechanism has an engaged condition and a disengaged condition. The power switching mechanism is operable to direct the rotary power from the transmission to the rear driveline in the engaged condition. A torque transfer device has an engaged condition and a disengaged condition. The power switching mechanism and the torque transfer device in the disengaged condition are operable to only transmit rotary power to the first vehicle wheels. The torque transfer device in the disengaged condition prevents the first shaft member and the second shaft member from back-driving the ring gear and the pinion of the rear driveline. The power switching mechanism in the disengaged condition prevents the transmission from driving the propeller shaft.

65 Hybrid powertrain and dual clutch transmission US12351544 2009-01-09 US08070649B2 2011-12-06 Alan G. Holmes
An automatic dual clutch transmission includes an input clutch which selectively connects a prime mover to an electric motor. The electric motor, in turn, is connected to the inputs of a pair of coaxial friction clutches. Each of the coaxial outputs of the friction clutches drives an input gear with meshes with a pair of gears, one of which is associated with each of a respective pair of layshafts or countershafts. On each countershaft, between the pair of gears driven by the outputs of the two clutches, are a pair of synchronizer clutches which selectively synchronize and connect one of the two gears to the associated countershaft. A similar arrangement of a second pair of gears separated by synchronizer clutches connects the countershafts through a selected gear to a pair of output gears coupled to and driving a differential cage or spool.
66 CONTROL APPARATUS FOR FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE, AND CONTROL METHOD US13104068 2011-05-10 US20110271781A1 2011-11-10 Koji TAKAIRA
When a count value concerning with the travel of the vehicle in a two-wheel drive state reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the state of drive in a transfer is temporarily switched to a four-wheel drive state by connecting a synchromesh mechanism while keeping a mesh clutch disconnected, so that rotary members that do not rotate during the two-wheel drive state, such as a second output shaft, are temporarily rotated. Thus, the rotary members are restrained from remaining in contact at fixed portions and therefore being partially worn. Besides, there is no need to provide a mechanism for temporarily rotating the rotary members, such as the second output shaft, separately from the synchromesh mechanism that is normally provided for the four-wheel drive travel in the related art. Therefore, it is possible to improve durability without involving cost increase, space efficiency deterioration, etc.

72 Gear box apparatus US11895672 2007-08-27 US20080047380A1 2008-02-28 Vladimir Abramov
A “mutually definite units of energy for forced energy economy” (MDUFEE) gearbox family has simplified the shifting pattern of shifting mechanisms to cause a real gear dependence on mechanical inertia created by the weight of a load and a fast changeable resistant force in response to the movement. This gearbox is able to operate in a manual, semi-automatic or automatic regime. Each family of designs produces torques and overdrive speeds in a faltering geometric sequence that significantly reduces the power that a motorized vehicle or craft or machine tool needs of a power source from a ratio of highest revolution of its shaft to idle revolution. This is achieved by using the unique function to keep highest torque of power source shaft within its work process. Therefore, an existing power source could be replaced by power source with substantially reduced power when gearbox of a MDUFEE gearbox family has replaced an existing gearbox. Also, the new gearbox substantially limits or eliminates the need for conventional acceleration systems to control speed produced by power source for maximizing the reduced energy consumption, emission and wear of power source. In addition, the greater degree of control of power usage with a compound MDUFEE gearbox family leads to a dramatic increase in the maneuvering capability of a motorized object on land, water or air.
