Abstract
Abstract In an automotive vehicle transmission consisting of a synchronized gearshift transmission and a bevel-gear axle transmission driven by an output shaft of the gearshift transmission, the output shaft is movable with a bearing clamping plate to set the bevel gear contact play. In order to avoid, after setting of the gear contact play, having to readjust the shifting rods with respect to the sliding sleeves of the synchronizers, all of the gearshifting elements of the gearshift actuation as well as of the blocking interlock and preselection route blocking mechanisms are mounted on the bearing clamping plate and participate in the setting motion of the latter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
An automotive vehicle transmission comprising an input shaft, an output shaft, a gear-change train, including switching rods for selectively shifting the gear ratio between the input and output shafts in dependence on the position of said switching rods, a selector shaft means for directly controlling the position of the switching rods, and a common bearing support means for said output shaft and said selector shaft means for maintaining said output shaft and said selector shaft in a predetermined relative position with respect to one another, whereby a single adjustment of said output shaft will similarly adjust said selector shaft means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
An automotive vehicle transmission comprising an input shaft, an output shaft, a gear-change train, including switching rods for selectively shifting the gear ratio between the input and output shafts in dependence on the position of said switching rods, a selector shaft means for directly controlling the position of the switching rods, and a common bearing support means for said output shaft and said selector shaft means for maintaining said output shaft and said selector shaft in a predetermined relative position with respect to one another, whereby a single adjustment of said output shaft will similarly adjust said selector shaft means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
The transmission according to claim 1, wherein the selector shaft means is disposed in a selector sleeve situated for longitudinal displacement and rotational movement on the selector shaft means, and wherein the common bearing support means comprises bearing blocks positioning the selector shaft means perpendicularly to the switching rods, the selector sleeve being selectively engageable with any of the shift rods for manipulation thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
The transmission according to claim 2, wherein the selector shaft means includes a pair of opposed stepped shoulders and wherein the selector sleeve includes a resiliently biased member engageable with the stepped shoulders to provide a back pressure which must be overcome by a shifting force of sufficient magnitude to be easily perceived by an operator of the vehicle when encountered.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The transmission according to claim 1, wherein the common bearing support means comprises a bearing clamping plate of bipartite construction such that the longitudinal position of the input shaft and the output shaft can be separately adjusted.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A transmission according to claim 1, wherein said input shaft is also supported in said common support means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
A transmission according to claim 5, wherein said common support means comprises a bearing plate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
A transmission according to claim 1, wherein said common support means comprises a bearing plate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
A transmission according to claim 2, wherein said common support means comprises a bearing plate, and wherein said bearing blocks are directly supported at the bearing plate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
A transmission according to claim 3, wherein said common support means comprises a bearing plate, and wherein said bearing blocks are directly supported at the bearing plate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
A transmission according to claim 6, wherein said bearing plate is of bipartitie construction such that the longitudinal position of the input shaft and the output shaft can be separately adjusted.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
31 words
A transmission according to claim 7, wherein said bearing plate is of bipartitie construction such that the longitudinal position of the input shaft and the output shaft can be separately adjusted.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
31 words
A transmission according to claim 8, wherein said bearing plate is of bipartitie construction such that the longitudinal position of the input shaft and the output shaft can be separately adjusted.
