ABSTRACT:
A continuously-variable transmission includes two transmission members each having coupling elements engageable to couple the transmission members for movement together. At least one of the transmission members is a rotary member rotatable about a rotary axis; and at least one of the groups of coupling elements is radially displaceable towards and away from the rotary axis to change the conversion ratio of the transmission. The coupling elements of one group on one transmission member are of a fixed configuration defining projections alternating with depressions each of a fixed configuration formed on a surface of the transmission member between opposite side faces and having the same pitch for every cross section of the surface perpendicular to the mentioned rotary axis. The coupling elements of the other group are of a self-adaptive configuration, each movable in opposite directions to adapt itself to the configuration of the fixed-configuration coupling elements in all displacement positions of the radially-displaceable coupling elements and to effect a non-slip coupling therewith.
