Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gear transmission having a speed changing section includes a speed changing gear for setting a speed stage and a shift gear slidably mounted on a rotation support shaft and operated to engage and disengage with the speed changing gear, the speed changing section configured to speed-change inputted power and to output the resultant power via the rotation support shaft. An arrangement is provided for facilitating engagement of the shift gear with the speed changing gear even when respective end faces of the shift gear and the speed changing gear hit each other. A transmission mechanism ( 20 B) is provided for outputting power of a rotation support shaft ( 24 ) to a traveling device. The transmission mechanism ( 20 B) has a transmission flexibility portion ( 80 ) which allows free rotation of the rotation support shaft ( 24 ) by a set rotation angle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A gear transmission comprising: a speed changing section comprising a speed changing gear for setting a speed stage and a shift gear slidably mounted on a rotation support shaft and operated to engage and disengage with the speed changing gear, the speed changing section configured to speed-change inputted power and to output resultant power via the rotation support shaft; and a transmission mechanism configured to output the power of the rotation support shaft to a traveling device, the transmission mechanism having a transmission flexibility portion allowing free rotation of the rotation support shaft by a set rotational angle, wherein the transmission mechanism comprises: a rotation transmission shaft operably coupled to the rotation support shaft via a gear coupling mechanism; a front wheel output shaft coupled to the rotation transmission shaft for outputting power of the rotation transmission shaft to a front wheel as the traveling device; and a rear wheel differential mechanism coupled to the rotation transmission shaft for outputting power of the rotation transmission shaft to a rear wheel as the traveling device; and wherein the transmission flexibility portion is provided at a portion of the rotation transmission shaft to which portion the gear coupling mechanism is coupled, wherein: the transmission flexibility portion includes: a transmitted rotation portion disposed at the rotation transmission shaft; and a transmitting rotation portion configured to transmit power from the gear coupling mechanism to the transmitted rotation portion, and the transmitted rotation portion includes a transmitting protrusion engaged in a recessed portion of the transmitting rotation portion so as to allow positional displacement between the recessed portion and the transmitting protrusion, and wherein: the transmission mechanism further comprises a transmission gear gear-coupled with the rotation support shaft, and the transmitting rotation portion is disposed on the transmission gear.
