Transmission device for land vehicle, such as a cart
First Claim
1. An automatic transmission device, particularly for land vehicles, comprising:
- a rotational input element (3) and a rotational output element (4);
a first (5) and a second (6) toothed element that each mesh with a third toothed element (7);
first (11) and second (12) coupling means to selectively couple a first one of the rotational input and output elements with the first (5) and second (6) toothed elements respectively;
a third coupling means (74, 76) to selectively couple the second (4) of the two rotational input and output elements with the third toothed element (7);
first (8) and second (9) stopping means to selectively immobilise the first (5) and second (6) toothed elements respectively;
a first actuator (111) for the first coupling means (11); and
a second actuator (62) capable of a first position in which the first coupling means (11) is capable of an engaged state and a disengaged state, and the second coupling means (12) is disengaged, and a second position in which the first coupling means (11) is disengaged and the second coupling means (12) is in an engaged state.

Abstract
For a first gear ratio, the flyweights engage the clutch and thus connect the input to the sun wheel, whilst the ring gear is immobilised by the free wheel. For the second gear ratio, the flyweights push the ring gear against the axial thrust of the helical teeth in a direction causing the engagement of the clutch against the ring and thus, at the same time, the disengagement of the clutch. The thrust produced by the teeth on the ring gear decreases and transmission then occurs from the input to the ring gear, whilst the sun wheel is immobilised by its free wheel. The speed increases further, the flyweights rise further, compress the prestressed springs and push the ring in the direction of the engagement of the clutch, which produces direct drive.
