    Abstract: Embodiments of a friction drive system include a battery, a drive motor, a control unit, and a speed wheel. When the friction drive system is mounted on a wheeled vehicle, the speed wheel provides an accurate measurement of the vehicle speed by maintaining contact with a tire of the vehicle. An automatic traction control system, which may be part of the control unit, compares the speed of the speed wheel with the speed of the drive motor to determine whether slippage is occurring. If slippage is detected, then embodiments of an automatic traction control system automatically increase an amount of normal force between a contact surface on the drive motor and the tire, by advancing a position of the drive motor relative to a fixed mounting point. If no slippage is detected, then embodiments of an automatic traction control system automatically reduce the amount of normal force, by retracting a position of the drive r elative to a fixed mounting point. In embodiments of a friction drive system, the relative position of the drive motor may be controlled by powering a worm gear motor attached to a worm gear in response to commands from the control unit.

    Abstract: A power transmission roller assembly is provided which includes a roller body to be brought into abutment with the driving roller and the driven roller; a pivot shaft fixed to a vehicle body; a pivot arm provided radially inside of the roller body, and pivotally mounted on the pivot shaft; a roller support bearing rotatably supporting the roller body; and a pair of biasing members provided on the pivot arm. The pair of biasing members bias the roller support bearing to a predetermined position between the driving and driven rollers where the abutment forces between the roller body and the driving and driven rollers balance with each other.

    Abstract: A torque distributor includes a friction-drive mechanism having a first roller rotatable together with a first rotary member, partly constituting a torque-transmission path to primary drive wheels, and a second roller rotatable together with a second rotary member, partly constituting a torque-transmission path to secondary drive wheels. Also provided is an eccentric-crank mechanism for revolving the second roller in a direction opposite to a rotation direction of power transmission of the second roller around an eccentric-shaft axis displaced from a second-roller rotation axis to produce a displacement of the second roller from a non-power-transmission position of non-frictional-contact with the first roller, thereby ensuring high-precision torque-distribution control with no reversal of a polarity of moment acting on a rotational-position-control system for eccentric cranks.

    Abstract: There is provided a compact and highly durable variable-speed traction drive transmission device.

    Abstract: A swivel disk friction gear system has a driving part and a driven part, each having a concave outer surface. An axially adjustable set ring is arranged between these parts. The gear system also has swivel disks with convex outer surfaces which are pivotably mounted in the set ring and swing freely with respect thereto and are frictionally engaged with the concave surface of the driving and driven parts. A drive shaft connected with the driving part has a piston rigidly connected thereto. The piston is surrounded by a cylindrical bore defining a hollow space within the driving or driven part, which part is axially displaceable on the drive shaft. The hollow space acts as a compression space to accommodate movement of the piston plate, the compression space is connected with a pressure conduit for a pressure medium. The drive train has a pumping system arranged on the drive shaft for actuating the piston and producing an adequate contact pressure for adjusting one of the driving or driven part to produce a frictional lock therebetween via the pivotal disk. A pressure control device is associated with the pump.
