ABSTRACT:
A frictional drive transmission is provided with a plurality of drive rollers disposed within an annular path created between a shaft and a cylindrical inner surface of a case. The drive rollers are pivotally linked to pinions attached to a second shaft. A plurality of pinch rollers are urged between the drive rollers and the cylindrical inner surface of the case, forcing the drive rollers into frictional contact with the pinch rollers and the central shaft. Rotation of the shaft attached to the pinions, causes rotation of the pinch rollers and drive rollers, and therefore rotation of the central shaft.
