Transmission, particularly for a wheeled vehicle, and wheeled vehicle equipped with such a transmission
The transmission (1) comprises a housing (2), a first motor (41), a second motor (42), a first and a second input shaft (51, 52), respectively able to be driven in rotation, one (51) by the first motor (41), the other (52) by the second motor (42), two clutch mechanisms (71, 72) and two reduction gears (91, 92), wherein the output shaft (31, 32) is formed by two output shaft sections (31, 32) interconnected such that they rotate freely, the clutch mechanisms (71, 72) are each equipped with a clutch control member operable by a user for allowing the transmission, in the engaged state of the first clutch mechanism (71), of the rotational movement of the first input shaft (51) to the first output shaft section (31), and the transmission, in the engaged state of the second clutch mechanism (72), of the rotational movement of the second input shaft (52) to the second output shaft section (32), and the reduction gears (91, 92) are at least partially received inside the housing (2).
Merchandise display hook including anti-sweep mechanism
A merchandise display hook and method for dispensing one or more items of merchandise from a merchandise display hook and/or for loading one or more items of merchandise onto the display hook are provided. The display hook may include at least one rod configured to be mounted to a display fixture and to receive one or more items of merchandise thereon. The display hook may also include a helix disposed about the rod and extending at least partially along a length of the rod. The helix is configured to rotate in a dispensing direction for dispensing the one or more items of merchandise from the rod and/or an opposite loading direction for loading the one or more items of merchandise onto the rod.
Tooth clutch transmission for wheelchairs
A conveyance to carry humans, such as a wheelchair, is described having levers on each side of the wheelchair that are manually moved forward and backward to propel the conveyance. The levers are connected to a tooth clutch mechanism that allow the user to shift into forward, reverse or neutral, brake, and change mechanical advantage (gear ratio), all this without removing the user's hands from the drive levers.

Multi-mode electromechanical variable transmission
A drive system for a vehicle includes first and second electrical machines, a transmission, and an electrical energy supply. The transmission includes first and second gear sets, a connecting shaft coupled to the first gear set, a driveshaft configured to transport power from the electrical machines to a tractive element of the vehicle, and a clutch. The first gear set is coupled to the first electrical machine. The second gear set is coupled to the second electrical machine. Carriers of the first and second gear sets are coupled. The clutch selectively rotationally couples the carriers to the driveshaft when engaged. The drive system operates in an electric only configuration whereby the electrical energy supply provides electrical energy to at least one of the electrical machines to drive at least one of the connecting shaft and the driveshaft without a mechanical energy input to the transmission from an engine.
Power transmission device for vehicle
A power transmission device includes a first power transmission path that is provided between an engine and a driving wheel, and a second power transmission path that is provided between the engine and the driving wheel and that is provided in parallel with the first power transmission path. The first power transmission path includes a first clutch and a secondary clutch that is arranged on the driving wheel side with respect to the first clutch. The second power transmission path includes a continuously variable transmission and a second clutch. The secondary clutch is configured to make a changeover between a first mode and a second mode.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FOR ACCESSORY GEARBOX DRIVE
A power extraction system for a gas turbine engine may comprise a low spool transmission and a low spool accessory gearbox. The low spool accessory gearbox may comprise a generator and a dual clutch transmission. The dual clutch transmission may be coupled between the low spool transmission and the generator.
Power distribution through undercarriage idler wheels
An undercarriage assembly for a tracked vehicle with a prime mover that provides a torque to the tracked vehicle, a final drive sprocket configured to provide a final drive torque on a track, a transmission mechanically coupled to the prime mover and the final drive sprocket to selectively transfer at least some of the torque generated by the prime mover to the final drive sprocket, at least one idler wheel that contacts the track, and an electric motor that provides an idler torque to the at least one idler wheel. Wherein, torque is distributed to the track through both the final drive sprocket and the idler wheel.

Rimpull limit based on wheel slippage
A machine is disclosed. The machine may include a continuously variable transmission, a location or movement module, and a controller. The controller may receive a first signal indicating a transmission output speed for the machine. The controller may receive, from the location or movement module, a second signal indicating location or movement information of the machine. The controller may determine a traction value based on the first signal and the second signal. The controller may determine a rimpull limit value based on the traction value. The controller may provide the rimpull limit value to the continuously variable transmission, wherein the continuously variable transmission is to determine a transmission output torque of the machine based on the rimpull limit value.
