Abstract

Abstract A transmission includes a planetary gear unit, the carrier of which is connected to an outer race of a one-way brake. A member is constructed of a hub part formed with the inner race of the one-way brake, a cylindrical part splined to a transmission casing and means securing the parts with each other. The cylindrical part is made of the same material as that of the casing.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 135 words
In a transmission, a casing made of a first material, a planetary gear unit coaxially disposed in said casing, said planetary gear unit including a carrier of planetary gears, a one-way brake means for braking said carrier, said one-way brake means being coaxially disposed in said carrier, said one-way brake means including an inner race and an outer race, said outer race being secured to said carrier, a member comprising a first part made of a second material and a second part made of said first material, said first part forming said inner race, said second part being secured to said casing, and said first and said second part being secured to each other, whereby a driving torque reaction on said carrier is received on said casing through said one-way brake means and said member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 135 words
In a transmission, a casing made of a first material, a planetary gear unit coaxially disposed in said casing, said planetary gear unit including a carrier of planetary gears, a one-way brake means for braking said carrier, said one-way brake means being coaxially disposed in said carrier, said one-way brake means including an inner race and an outer race, said outer race being secured to said carrier, a member comprising a first part made of a second material and a second part made of said first material, said first part forming said inner race, said second part being secured to said casing, and said first and said second part being secured to each other, whereby a driving torque reaction on said carrier is received on said casing through said one-way brake means and said member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
In the transmission as set forth in claim 1, wherein said first material is different from said second material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
In the transmission as set forth in claim 1, wherein said second material is steel, said first material is an aluminum alloy.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
In the transmission as set forth in claim 2 wherein said first material is aluminum alloy.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 33 words
In the transmission as set forth in claim 1 further comprising means for holding said second part axially fast relative to said casing, spline means for securing said second part to said casing.
