Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a governor pressure controlling apparatus for vehicle transmissions including a governor pressure generator mounted on a rotational shaft for generating a governor pressure and provided with inlet and outlet ports, a governor pressure regulator provided with inlet and outlet ports and a regulating chamber, a first passage for communicating the inlet port of the governor pressure generator with a source of fluid pressure, a second passage for communicating the outlet port of the governor pressure generator with an inlet port of the governor pressure regulator, and a third passage for communicating another inlet port of the governor pressure regulator with the source of fluid pressure, whereby the regulated pressure obtained at the outlet port of the governor pressure regulator is controlled by governor pressure obtained from the governor pressure generator according to the rotational speed of the rotational shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
221 words
A governor pressure control apparatus for vehicle transmission, comprising: a source of fluid pressure; governor pressure generating means (28) mounted on a rotational shaft (10) for generating a governor pressure according to the rotation of said rotational shaft (10) and provided with an inlet port (19) fluidically communicated with said source of fluid pressure and an outlet port (20) for supplying a governor pressure; and governor pressure regulating means (29) including a valve body (30), a valve (31) slidably disposed within said valve body (30) and having a large diameter land (38) and a small diameter land (39), an inlet port (35) fluidically communicated with said source of fluid pressure, an outlet port (34) for supplying a governor modulated pressure, a port (33) for introducing said governor pressure from said outlet port (20) of said governor pressure generating means (28), and a regulating chamber (36) for acting against said governor pressure in order to regulate said inlet port (35) thereof; whereby the governor pressure generated by said governor generating means (28) is applied against said large diameter land (38) of said governor pressure regulating means (29) and a governor modulated pressure is provided at outlet port (34) by said small diameter land (39) of said governor pressure regulating means (29) in accordance with the rotational speed of said rotational shaft (10).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
221 words
A governor pressure control apparatus for vehicle transmission, comprising: a source of fluid pressure; governor pressure generating means (28) mounted on a rotational shaft (10) for generating a governor pressure according to the rotation of said rotational shaft (10) and provided with an inlet port (19) fluidically communicated with said source of fluid pressure and an outlet port (20) for supplying a governor pressure; and governor pressure regulating means (29) including a valve body (30), a valve (31) slidably disposed within said valve body (30) and having a large diameter land (38) and a small diameter land (39), an inlet port (35) fluidically communicated with said source of fluid pressure, an outlet port (34) for supplying a governor modulated pressure, a port (33) for introducing said governor pressure from said outlet port (20) of said governor pressure generating means (28), and a regulating chamber (36) for acting against said governor pressure in order to regulate said inlet port (35) thereof; whereby the governor pressure generated by said governor generating means (28) is applied against said large diameter land (38) of said governor pressure regulating means (29) and a governor modulated pressure is provided at outlet port (34) by said small diameter land (39) of said governor pressure regulating means (29) in accordance with the rotational speed of said rotational shaft (10).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A governor pressure control apparatus for vehicle transmission as set forth in claim 1, wherein said governor pressure regulating means (29) is separate from the governor pressure generating means (28) mounted on the rotational shaft (10).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
A governor pressure controlling apparatus for vehicle transmission as set forth in claim 1, wherein said governor pressure generating means (28) further includes a governor body (13), and a governor valve (15) sidably disposed within said governor body (13) and having a small diameter land (17) and a large diameter land (18).
