Abstract
Abstract There is shown a hydraulic control system for a transmission of the type wherein a gearing mechanism is combined with a V-belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism. The system comprises a hydraulic arrangement wherein a hydraulic fluid pressure supplied to a pulley cylinder chamber which the tension of the V-belt is variable with. The level of the hydraulic fluid pressure is elevated or increased immediately before or during shifting from the torque transmission through the gearing mechanism to the torque transmission through the V-belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A hydraulic control system for a transmission of the type wherein a gearing mechanism is combined with a V-belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism, the hydraulic control system comprising: a hydraulic arrangement wherein a hydraulic fluid pressure is supplied to a pulley cylinder chamber which the tension on the V-belt is variable with; means for increasing the level of said hydraulic fluid pressure in response to a shifting from transmission of torque through the gearing mechanism to the transmission of torque through the V-belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A hydraulic control system for a transmission of the type wherein a gearing mechanism is combined with a V-belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism, the hydraulic control system comprising: a hydraulic arrangement wherein a hydraulic fluid pressure is supplied to a pulley cylinder chamber which the tension on the V-belt is variable with; means for increasing the level of said hydraulic fluid pressure in response to a shifting from transmission of torque through the gearing mechanism to the transmission of torque through the V-belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A hydraulic control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said increasing means include a shift command valve, a line pressure regulator valve, and a line pressure servo valve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A hydraulic control system as claimed in claim 2, wherein a hydraulic fluid conduit is drained responsive to the increase in the hydraulic fluid pressure thereby causing said line pressure regulator valve to generate line pressure at a relatively high rate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A hydraulic control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said increasing means include a line pressure regulator valve, and a line pressure servo valve shiftable responsive to the hydraulic fluid pressure supplied to a high clutch.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A hydraulic control system as claimed in claim 4, wherein a solenoid valve is provided to modulate the level of line pressure via said line pressure servo valve.
