Abstract

A shifter gear for reducing a thrust load that occurs in a shifter gear for restraining friction between the shifter gear and a shift fork. A gear part and an engaging part with the shift fork are disposed at an outer periphery of a base part. The spline is disposed at an inner periphery of the base part. The shifter gear is mounted relatively slidable to a gear shift shaft in an axis direction via the spline and is mounted to be incapable of relative rotation around an axis. The shift fork engaging the engaging part is configured to perform a slide operation on the shifter gear. One part of the spline is configured with a splined collar in an axis direction. The splined collar is a different body from the base part and is able to relatively rotate to the part around an axis.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shifter gear comprising:
a base part;
a gear part disposed at an outer periphery of the base part;
an engaging part with a shift fork disposed at an outer periphery of the base part; and
a spline disposed at an inner periphery of the base part,
the shifter gear being mounted relatively slidable to a gear shift shaft in an axial direction via the spline, the shifter gear being mounted to be incapable of relative rotation around an axis, and the shift fork engaging the engaging part being configured to perform a slide operation on the shifter gear,
wherein one part of the spline is configured with a splined collar in the axial direction, the splined collar being a different body from the base part and being able to rotate relative to the base part.

2. The shifter gear according to claim 1 , wherein the splined collar is disposed at a position displaced off from the gear part in the axial direction.

3. The shifter gear according to claim 1 , wherein the splined collar is disposed on an opposite side from the gear part in the axial direction sandwiching the engaging part with the shift fork.

4. The shifter gear according to claim 1 , wherein the splined collar includes an oil passage, the oil passage being configured to supply lubricating oil to the engaging part with the shift fork.

5. The shifter gear according to claim 1 , wherein the base part is provided with a stopper that is attachable or removable to the base part, the stopper being configured to prevent the splined collar from coming off in the axial direction.

6. The shifter gear according to claim 2 , wherein the splined collar is disposed on an opposite side from the gear part in the axial direction sandwiching the engaging part with the shift fork.

7. The shifter gear according to claim 2 , wherein the splined collar includes an oil passage, the oil passage being configured to supply lubricating oil to the engaging part with the shift fork.

8. The shifter gear according to claim 3 , wherein the splined collar includes an oil passage, the oil passage being configured to supply lubricating oil to the engaging part with the shift fork.

9. The shifter gear according to claim 2 , wherein the base part is provided with a stopper that is attachable or removable to the base part, the stopper being configured to prevent the splined collar from coming off in the axial direction.

10. The shifter gear according to claim 3 , wherein the base part is provided with a stopper that is attachable or removable to the base part, the stopper being configured to prevent the splined collar from coming off in the axial direction.

11. The shifter gear according to claim 4 , wherein the base part is provided with a stopper that is attachable or removable to the base part, the stopper being configured to prevent the splined collar from coming off in the axial direction.

12. A shifter gear comprising:
a base member;
a gear formed on an outer periphery of the base member;
an engaging member with a shift fork disposed at the outer periphery of the base member; and
a spline formed on an inner periphery of the base member,
the shifter gear being mounted relatively slidable to a gear shift shaft in an axial direction via the spline, the shifter gear being mounted to be incapable of relative rotation around an axis, and the shift fork engaging the engaging part being configured to perform an axially slide operation on the shifter gear,
a splined collar extending in an axial direction, the splined collar being a distinct member relative to the base member and being able to rotate relative to the base member;
wherein the splined collar includes an oil passage, the oil passage being configured to supply lubricating oil to the engaging part with the shift fork.

13. The shifter gear according to claim 12 , wherein the splined collar is disposed at a position displaced off from the gear member in the axial direction.

14. The shifter gear according to claim 12 , wherein the splined collar is disposed on an opposite side from the gear member in the axial direction sandwiching the engaging part with the shift fork.

15. The shifter gear according to claim 12 , wherein the splined collar is disposed on an opposite side from the gear member in the axial direction sandwiching the engaging part with the shift fork.

16. The shifter gear according to claim 12 , wherein the base member is provided with a stopper that is attachable or removable to the base member, the stopper being configured to prevent the splined collar from coming off in the axial direction.
