Abstract
A CVT variator transmission box for using on a bicycle is provided. The CVT variator transmission box increases or decreases a speed of a rotation of pedals or hands when a form of a motion transmission is provided; and the CVT variator transmission box introduces a new variator gearbox with a CVT variator transmission mechanism capable of transmitting to a front wheel or a rear wheel by increasing or decreasing the speed from the pedals or the hands when the form of the motion transmission is provided. The CVT variator transmission box is positioned on any part of the front wheel, the rear wheel or on a frame of the bicycle.

A CVT variator transmission box for a bicycle, wherein the CVT variator transmission box increases or decreases a speed of a rotational movement from pedals or from hands when a movement transmission method is provided, the CVT variator transmission box comprises
- a transmission drive gear, wherein the transmission drive gear transmits the rotational movement from the pedals or from the hands to an input large gear through with a chain or a suitable movement transmission element, wherein the transmission drive gear is connected to the chain or the suitable movement transmission element from a central axis;
- the input large gear, wherein the input large gear receives the rotational movement from the transmission drive gear and transmits the rotational movement to a front small gear in order to increase the speed;
- the front small gear, wherein the front small gear transmits the rotational movement received from the input large gear, in speed as increased, to a front half-shaft pulley, wherein the front half-shaft pulley is associated with the front small gear from the center axis;
- the front half-shaft pulley, wherein the front half-shaft pulley rotates a front half-ramp pulley positioned above on the front half-shaft pulley, by receiving the rotational movement from the front small gear,
- the front half-ramp pulley with an oval shape or curved shape on a rear surface of the front half-ramp pulley, wherein the front half-ramp pulley turns with the front half-shaft pulley, wherein the front half-shaft pulley is without a shaft or the front half-shaft pulley is associated with the shaft and the front half-ramp pulley rotates a rear half pulley associated with the front half-ramp pulley via a belt;
- sliding weights, wherein the sliding weights are positioned in ramp slots within the front half-ramp pulley and move towards a lateral surface of the front half-ramp pulley with an effect of a centrifugal force as the front half-ramp pulley rotates;
- a variator ramp plate placed on the front half-ramp pulley and located on the rear surface of the front half-ramp pulley in a direction of a spring in an inwardly curved shaped,
- the rear half pulley, wherein the rear half pulley is rotated by the front half-ramp pulley via the belt, and with a rear surface convex curved;
- the belt, wherein the belt transmits a movement between the rear half pulley and the front half-ramp pulley;
- the spring, wherein the spring takes the rear half pulley back to an original position of the rear half pulley by pushing the spring down when a system speed drops;
- a rear half-shaft pulley located at a bottom of the rear half pulley and rotating together with the rear half pulley;
- a rear small gear associated with the rear half-shaft pulley, wherein the rear half-shaft pulley is without the shaft or the rear half-shaft pulley is associated with the shaft on a center axis of the rear small gear and rotating with the rear half-shaft pulley;
- and
- an output large gear, wherein the output large gear receives the rotational movement from the rear small gear, and transmits the rotational movement, directly or via any connecting element to a front wheel or a rear wheel.

An automatic variator transmission for a bicycle, wherein the automatic variator transmission increases or decreases a speed of a rotational movement from a pedal, wherein
- in order to increase the speed of the rotational movement, the automatic variator transmission transmits the rotational movement from the pedal when the pedal is actuated or the rotational movement from hands, to a front half-ramp pulley through a pedal drive gear, an input large gear, a front small gear and a front half pulley, wherein
- due to a curve of a variator plate and an ovality of an inner surface of the front half-ramp pulley, sliding weights moving under an effect of centrifugal forces in downward ramping grooves of the front half-ramp pulley push the front half-ramp pulley in a direction of the pedal drive gear,
- as a result of pushing, a belt attached to a rear surface of the front half-ramp pulley grips the front half-ramp pulley with a maximum diameter to ensure a high speed running with the front half-ramp pulley, wherein the front half-ramp pulley is pushed downwards
- the belt becomes shorter due to gripping the front half-ramp pulley at the maximum diameter, pushes a rear half-pulley on a rear oval curved surface, pushing a spring upwards to tighten a spring, and grasps the rear half-pulley at a minimum diameter,
- in order to decrease of the speed of the front half-ramp pulley decelerated by releasing the pedal drive gear, wherein the automatic variator transmission is applied by the pedals or by the hands, wherein
- a movement of the sliding weights in a central direction of the front half-ramp pulley in the downward ramp grooves,
- a movement of the front half-ramp pulley as a result of the movement of the sliding weight,
- in order to reduce the speed, the belt grips the front half-ramp pulley at the minimum diameter as a result of an upward movement of the front half-ramp pulley,
- pushing of the spring the rear half-pulley downwards,
- the belt grips in an outward direction, a curved surface located on a bottom surface of the rear half-pulley pushed downward, grips the rear half-pulley at the maximum diameter,
- a reduced speed of the belt is transmitted with the front half-ramp pulley at the minimum diameter, the rear half-pulley at the maximum diameter, to an output large gear via a rear half shaft pulley and a rear small gear.
