Abstract

A reverse transmission system for a vehicle for engaging a reverse action on a normally forward action only engine transmission having a longitudinal orientation driveshaft output, the reverse transmission system comprising a gear rotatably connected to the longitudinal orientation driveshaft output of a normally forward action only engine transmission output; a shaft rotatably connected to the gear for transmitting power from the normally forward action only engine transmission output to the shaft; a chain sprocket connected to a chain drive and to the shaft for providing a transverse orientation output to the chain drive to change the direction of rotation of the driveshaft output, thereby for engaging the vehicle in the reverse action; and a reverse fork configured to actuate a reverse dog configured to slide upon the shaft to reversibly engage a reverse gear engaged to a first gear of the engine transmission.

Claims

1. A reverse transmission system for a vehicle for engaging a reverse action on a normally forward action only engine transmission having a longitudinal orientation driveshaft output, the reverse transmission system comprising:

a gear rotatably connected to the longitudinal orientation driveshaft output of a normally forward action only engine transmission output;

a shaft rotatably connected to the gear for transmitting power from the normally forward action only engine transmission output to the shaft;

a chain sprocket connected to a chain drive and to the shaft for providing a transverse orientation output to the chain drive to change the direction of rotation of the driveshaft output, thereby for engaging the vehicle in the reverse action; and

a reverse fork configured to actuate a reverse dog configured to slide upon the shaft to reversibly engage a reverse gear engaged to a first gear of the engine transmission.

2. The reverse transmission system of claim 1, wherein the shaft is engaged to the gear engaged to the longitudinal orientation driveshaft output.

3. The reverse transmission system of claim 1, wherein the reverse dog engages the reverse gear to reverse the rotation of the longitudinal orientation driveshaft output to engage the vehicle in a backward motion.

4. The reverse transmission system of claim 1, wherein the reverse gear uses a first gear of the engine transmission to power a backward motion.

5. The reverse transmission system of claim 1, further comprising a motor for activating the reverse fork.
