Abstract
Abstract In the case of a synchronized manual transmission of a motor vehicle, the transmission gears, which consist of loose wheels and fixed wheels, can be shifted by means of the coupling of the loose wheels with their pertaining transmission shafts. The transmission gears are arranged such between an input shaft and an output shaft that they can be shifted only by the simultaneous closing of two synchronizer clutches which are assigned to them.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A manual transmission of a motor vehicle, comprising: transmission gears that include a plurality of forward gears and one reverse gear; synchronizer clutches which shift the gears, with all said transmission gears being arranged such that they can be shifted only by simultaneous closing of two of said synchronizer clutches which are assigned to each gear; wherein the transmission gears are arranged such that a progressive gear grading is provided, with a first range shifting implemented between adjacent transmission gears and a second range shifting implemented between non-adjacent transmission gears.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A manual transmission of a motor vehicle, comprising: transmission gears that include a plurality of forward gears and one reverse gear; synchronizer clutches which shift the gears, with all said transmission gears being arranged such that they can be shifted only by simultaneous closing of two of said synchronizer clutches which are assigned to each gear; wherein the transmission gears are arranged such that a progressive gear grading is provided, with a first range shifting implemented between adjacent transmission gears and a second range shifting implemented between non-adjacent transmission gears.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
76 words
A manual transmission according to claim 1, further comprising an input shaft, an output shaft which is disposed coaxially to the input shaft, and an auxiliary shaft situated in parallel to the output shaft, wherein the transmission gears include gearwheel pairs arranged between the input shaft, the output shaft and the auxiliary shaft, each gearwheel pair including a loose wheel and a fixed wheel, with all of the fixed wheels being coupled to the auxiliary shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
A manual transmission according to claim 2, wherein a first one of said loose wheels and the synchronizer clutch assigned to the first loose wheel are arranged on the input shaft, and all other loose wheels and synchronizer clutches are arranged on the output shaft.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A manual transmission according to claim 1, each transmission gear is formed of two gearwheel pairs, the loose wheel of the one gearwheel pair being connectable with the input shaft, the loose wheel of the other gearwheel pair being connected with the output shaft via said synchronizer clutches.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
76 words
A manual transmission according to claim 1, wherein the transmission gears includes gearwheel pairs with a loose wheel and a fixed wheel, with the loose wheel of one of said gear wheel pairs being connectable with an input shaft by a first one of said synchronizer clutch, and of said connectable with an output shaft by a second synchronizer clutches acting on opposite end faces of the loose wheel to thereby shift a highest transmission gear.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
57 words
A manual transmission according to claim 2, further comprising a casing for housing the transmission, wherein the output shaft is disposed centrically in the input shaft, and wherein the input shaft is disposed on a first end wall of the transmission casing, and the output shaft is disposed on a second other end wall of the casing.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A manual transmission according to claim 1, wherein four gearwheel pairs and three synchronizer clutches are provided for a 6-gear transmission with an R-gear.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
73 words
A manual transmission according to claim 3, wherein one of said synchronizer clutches is arranged so as to participate in shifting of all of said transmission gears, in that, when one of said transmission gears is shifted, the said synchronizer clutch is either in a first closing position or in a second closing position, and, in a neutral center position, the said synchronizer clutch causes the transmission to be in an idling position.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A manual transmission according to claim 1, further comprising shift forks which are actuatable by a shift roller 14 to engage in the synchronizer clutches.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
37 words
A manual transmission according to claim 9, wherein one of said shift forks is actuatable by the shift roller via a driving device and a coupling finger, said coupling finger being selectively disengageable from the driving device.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
38 words
A manual transmission according to claim 1, wherein six forward gears of gear ratios are provided and wherein a progressive gear grading is implemented, the following relationship being applied: ##EQU1## wherein i1 to i6 represent forward gear ratios.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
23 words
A manual transmission according to claim 1, wherein a size of step ratios rises continuously in the direction of the lower transmission gears.
