Abstract
Abstract A synchronization apparatus for speed-changing gearing or transmissions, especially for vehicles, comprising a slotted synchronization ring arranged between a claw support and a gear shift sleeve. A blocker or blocking body supported for radially outward movement by the claw support, the blocker body engaging with play by means of an entrainment cam or dog in the slot of the aforesaid ring. The synchronization ring during the synchronization function bearing by means of one of its ends at the entrainment cam in the direction of the relative rotation to be compensated between the claw support and the gear shift sleeve. The blocker body and the synchronization ring possessing stops coacting with one another such that they can pass or travel over one another, these stops or impact means are arranged in the direction of the relative rotation to be compensated after the entrainment cam and can be brought into operable engagement with one another by radially shifting the blocker body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A synchronization apparatus for speed-changing gearing, especially for vehicles, comprising a claw support and a gear shift sleeve, a slotted synchronization ring possessing a slot, said slotted synchronization ring being arranged between said claw support and said gear shift sleeve, a blocker body supported by the claw support for carrying out a radial outward movement, said blocker body possessing an entrainment cam, said blocker body engaging with play by means of the entrainment cam in the slot of the synchronization ring, said synchronization ring having an end which bears against the entrainment cam during the synchronization operation in the direction of the relative rotation which is to be equalized between the claw support and the gear shift sleeve, said blocker body and said synchronization ring possessing stops coacting with one another such that they can travel over one another, said stops being arranged after the entrainment cam in the direction of the relative rotation which is to be equalized and can be brought into engagement with one another by radially shifting the blocker body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
174 words
A synchronization apparatus for speed-changing gearing, especially for vehicles, comprising a claw support and a gear shift sleeve, a slotted synchronization ring possessing a slot, said slotted synchronization ring being arranged between said claw support and said gear shift sleeve, a blocker body supported by the claw support for carrying out a radial outward movement, said blocker body possessing an entrainment cam, said blocker body engaging with play by means of the entrainment cam in the slot of the synchronization ring, said synchronization ring having an end which bears against the entrainment cam during the synchronization operation in the direction of the relative rotation which is to be equalized between the claw support and the gear shift sleeve, said blocker body and said synchronization ring possessing stops coacting with one another such that they can travel over one another, said stops being arranged after the entrainment cam in the direction of the relative rotation which is to be equalized and can be brought into engagement with one another by radially shifting the blocker body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one of the cooperating stops possesses an impact surface which is rearwardly inclined in the direction of the relative rotation to be equalized.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 2, wherein the blocker body comprises a stepped body portion for forming the stops.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 3, wherein the stepped body portion of the blocker body can be brought into engagement with an end of the synchronization ring which is freed during the synchronization operation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the blocker body and the claw support are supported against one another in the direction of the relative rotation which is to be equalized at support surfaces which radially outwardly deflect the blocker body during the synchronization operation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein the claw support possesses a ring projection which engages radially from the inside beneath the blocker body, said ring projection being positively coupled with the blocker body in the direction of the relative rotation which is to be equalized by the support surfaces.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
61 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein the claw support is provided with a ring projection, said ring projection being provided with a respective recess, the blocker body possessing at each of its ends a cam having a support surface, each said cam with its support surface engaging in a respective one of the recesses of the ring projection.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
41 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein the claw support possesses a ring projection having a recess, the blocker body having an intermediate portion possessing a projection provided with support surfaces engaging in the recess of the ring projection.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
The synchronization apparatus as defined in claim 8, wherein said projection possesses the form of a substantially circular disk-like segment.
