Continuously variable speed transmission for a vehicle having a forward-reverse changeover mechanism
A continuously-variable speed transmission is described for a vehicle having a forward-reverse changeover mechanism, comprising: a housing; a coupling means having an input shaft and output shaft; a belt type continuously-variable speed transmission system having an input pulley mounted coaxially on a first shaft, and output pulley mounted coaxially on a second shaft and a belt extending between the first and second pulleys to transfer power; a planetary gear mechanism having a first input shaft, a second input shaft and an output shaft, each of the input shafts and the output shaft being disposed concentrically with each other and coaxially with and rotatably with respect to the rotational axis of the second shaft of the belt type continuously-variable speed transmission system; a clutch means having a one and single sleeve disposed coaxially, slidably with and rotationally linked to the second shaft of the belt type continuously-variable speed transmission system and a shift lever being engaged with the sleeve at one end thereof, and sleeve having splines thereon adapted to selectively mesh with the splines formed on the first and second input shafts.
