Continuously variable transmission
First Claim
1. A continuously variable transmission comprising:
- a continuous gear-change mechanism that increases and decreases a speed of a rotational output of a driving source used for causing an automobile to travel, the continuous gear-change mechanism capable of continuously changing a gear ratio;
a gear-change operating section to which a gear-change operation is input; and
a gear-change controlling section that changes the gear ratio of the continuous gear-change mechanism in accordance with the gear-change operation that is input from the gear-change operating section,wherein a first gear-change operation and a second gear-change operation are capable of being input to the gear-change operating section, the second gear-change operation performed subsequently to the first gear-change operation, andwherein the gear-change controlling section is provided with a plurality of the gear ratios that correspond to a plurality of gears and that are previously set, causes the continuous gear-change mechanism to perform, in accordance with the first gear-change operation, a gear-change operation from a gear ratio for when the first gear-change operation is started to a gear ratio corresponding to a next gear, and causes the continuous gear-change mechanism to perform, in accordance with the second gear-change operation, a gear-change operation from the gear ratio for when the first gear-change operation is started to an intermediate gear ratio that is set between the gear ratio corresponding to the next gear and a gear ratio corresponding to a second next gear.

Abstract
A continuously variable transmission includes a continuous gear-change mechanism, a gear-change operating section to which a gear-change operation is input, and a gear-change controlling section changing a gear ratio of the mechanism according to the gear-change operation that is input from the operating section. A first gear-change operation and a second gear-change operation, performed subsequently to the first operation, or an input from a second gear-change operating section can be input to the operating section. The e controlling section is provided with the plural gear ratios for plural gears and previously set, causes the mechanism to perform, according to the first operation, a gear-change operation to a gear ratio for a next gear, and to perform, according to the second operation, a gear-change operation to an intermediate gear ratio set between the gear ratio for the next gear and a gear ratio for a second next gear.

15. A continuously variable transmission comprising:
-
a continuous gear-change mechanism that increases and decreases a speed of a rotational output of a driving source used for causing an automobile to travel, the continuous gear-change mechanism capable of continuously changing a gear ratio; a first gear-change operating section to which a first gear-change operation is input; a second gear-change operating section to which a second gear-change operation is input, the second gear-change operation being performed at the same time as the first gear-change operation or subsequently to the first gear-change operation; and a gear-change controlling section that changes the gear ratio of the continuous gear-change mechanism in accordance with the gear-change operations that are input from the first gear-change operating section and the second gear-change operating section, wherein the gear-change controlling section is provided with a plurality of the gear ratios that correspond to a plurality of gears and that are previously set, causes the continuous gear-change mechanism to perform, in accordance with the first gear-change operation, a gear-change operation from a gear ratio for when the first gear-change operation is started to a gear ratio corresponding to a next gear, and causes the continuous gear-change mechanism to perform, in accordance with the second gear-change operation, a gear-change operation from the gear ratio for when the first gear-change operation is started to an intermediate gear ratio that is set between the gear ratio corresponding to the next gear and a gear ratio corresponding to a second next gear. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
