ABSTRACT:
A gear system for mechanically transforming motion on an infinitely variable basis as desired, having a unique arrangement of gear elements and clutches between the input and output shafts (1 and 6). A first set of gears (2) divides the motion put into the system through the input shaft (1). A controller (7) sets the phase shift in the division of motion from the first set of gears (2). Sets of non-circular gears (3) connecting the intermediate shafts (9) to "on/off" clutches (4) transform the motion output from the first set of gears (2). Finally, the resulting motion from the clutches is transferred to an output shaft (6) through a third set of gears in a summing device (5). Shaft (6) is connected to a load (not shown). The output shaft (6) is connected to the input shaft (1) by means of an "on/off" clutch (8) which is normally disengaged during variable motion transformation, but which can be engaged when the same output motion as input motion to the system is desired, without loading any of the gears during such equal motion operations.
