Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A transmission gearbox capable of providing a plurality of forward and reverse speeds for use with a tractor or the like comprising a housing, an input shaft located within said housing and being provided with a driving member and a driven member, a coupling element connecting said driving member to said driven member, layshafts located within said housing, continually meshing gears operatively communicating with said input shaft and said layshafts for transmitting torque from said input shaft to said layshafts, friction clutches causing said continually meshing gears to communicate with said layshafts, output shafts aligned with said layshafts, and reversing coupling gears interlocking when a forward speed is provided by said gearbox and for connectinG said output shafts to said layshafts when a reverse speed is provided.
