Patent Images
1. A transmission for transverse mounting in a vehicle having an in-line engine, the transmission comprising:
- a longitudinal engine-driven shaft;
a hollow shaft driven by the engine shaft;
a transverse shaft extending through the hollow shaft, the hollow shaft driving the transverse shaft;
a range gear disposed on one side of the engine shaft, the hollow shaft driving the transverse shaft via the range gear; and
a change-speed gear driven by the transverse shaft and disposed on the side of the engine shaft opposite from the range gear.

Abstract
A transmission is mounted transversely in an agricultural or construction vehicle with a chassis frame. The transmission components are arranged substantially on two main shafts which are parallel, one to the other, and transverse to the engine input shaft. The drive runs, on the engine side, through a bevel gear drive. The transmission housing is formed of two shells and the plane of the joint therebetween contains the axial centerlines of the main shafts.

2. In a vehicle having an in-line engine, a transverse gear box comprising:
-
a longitudinal engine-driven shaft; an input shaft lying on a first transverse shaft line; bevel gear means for coupling the engine-driven shaft to the input shaft; an output shaft lying on a second transverse shaft line parallel to the first transverse shaft line; a change-speed gear coupled between the input shaft and the output shaft; an epicyclic range gear on one of the shaft lines, the epicyclic range gear driving the input shaft; a pair of half-shafts on the second shaft line; a differential gear between the output shaft and the pair of half-shafts; and a hollow shaft driven by the bevel gear means, the hollow shaft driving the epicyclic range gear, the input shaft extending through the hollow shaft from the epicyclic range gear to the change-speed gear. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
