ABSTRACT:
An improved infinitely variable speed epicyclic drive mechanism having planet discs which are supported by a carrier and revolve on a track determined by a pair of sun discs and matching non-rotating peripheral annular members. In one embodiment, the planet discs are each rotatable in an arm or fork in turn rotatable in the carrier and means is provided to reduce centrifugally induced axial forces occuring between the planet discs and the surrounding annular members. In a further embodiment the sun discs are torque sensitively loaded towards each other for frictionally engaging the planet discs by helical gears in an epicyclic gear train to which the mechanism is coupled.
