摘要： A transmission can convert a single speed, single rotary directional input, to a continuously variable clockwise or anticlockwise directional output. This effect can be achieved without disengaging the output shaft from the input shaft. The transmission includes a pair of epicycloidal gear trains having sun gears on a common shaft. A ring gear in the first gear train drives a planet gear in the second gear train. A variable speed drive drives a planet gear in the first drive train. The transmission has particular application in vehicles which require an engine to operate at or close to an optimum speed to match its operational requirements. Similarly engines such as turbines or electric motors which can operate efficiently within a speed range and with a single rotational direction can be used with the transmission to provide power to systems requiring a variety of speeds and reversing characteristics.

摘要翻译： 变速器可以将单速单个旋转方向输入转换为连续可变的顺时针或逆时针方向输出。 在不使输出轴与输入轴分离的情况下，可以实现这种效果。 变速器包括一对在公共轴上具有太阳齿轮的环绕齿轮系。 第一齿轮系中的齿圈驱动第二齿轮系中的行星齿轮。 变速驱动器驱动第一传动系中的行星齿轮。 该传动装置特别适用于需要发动机以最佳速度运行或接近最佳速度以匹配其操作要求的车辆。 类似的发动机例如涡轮机或电动马达可以在速度范围内并且具有单个旋转方向上有效地运行，而传动装置可以为需要各种速度和反向特性的系统提供动力。
