ABSTRACT:
A wheel or part-wheel constructed of assembled ovoids around a central axis so that points on its perimeter can move freely in a direction perpendicular to the plane of its rotation. This is useful in devices such as mechanical transmissions. In these transmissions the transmitted torque is continuously variable over a very large range, and the transmission ratio can be varied at the same time as torque is being transmitted.
