Abstract A gearing comprising an input shaft (10) and an output shaft (11) coaxially mounted and permanently connected to an input gear (12) and an output gear (13) respectively. The input gear (12) and the output gear (13) cooperate with a number of auxiliary gear sets (15, 16), with each gear being in engagement with the input gear (12) and output gear (13) respectively, as well as an auxiliary shaft (14) whereon said sets of auxiliary gears (15, 16) are mounted. At least one of the auxiliary gears (15, 16) in each set of auxiliary gears is mounted on the auxiliary shaft (14) by means of a friction clutch (26). The friction clutch ensures an automatic setting of the sets of auxiliary gears in relation to the input gear and the output gear.
A gearing comprising an input shaft (10) and an output shaft (11) coaxially mounted and permanently connected to an input gear (12) and an output gear (13) respectively, where the input gear (12) and the output gear (13) cooperate with a number of auxiliary gear sets (15, 16), each set comprising two auxiliary gears (15, 16), with each gear being in engagement with the input gear (12) and output gear (13) respectively, as well as an auxiliary shaft (14) whereon said sets of auxiliary gears (15, 16) are mounted, wherein at least one of the auxiliary gears (15, 16) in each set of auxiliary gears is mounted on the auxiliary shaft (14) by means of a friction clutch (26).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
46 words
A gearing as in claim 1, characterised in that the sets of auxiliary gears (15, 16) are mounted with the same mutual angular distance around the common axis of rotation of the input shaft (10) and the output shaft (11) and along a circle concentric therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A gearing as in claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the auxiliary shaft (14) of the auxiliary gears (15, 16) is permanently connected to a casing, said casing being rotatably mounted around the common axis of rotation of the input shaft (10) and the output shaft (11) and provided with a separate drive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
