Continuously variable transmission

A continuously variable transmission comprising:

• an input shaft configured to receive a driving force input from a drive source;
• first and second output shafts parallel to the input shaft;
• a continuously variable transmission device comprising:
• a first pulley mounted to the first output shaft;
• a second pulley mounted to the second output shaft;
• and
• an endless belt looped around the first pulley and the second pulley;
• a first transmission path configured to reduce an input from the input shaft and transmit the driving force to the continuously variable transmission device;
• a second transmission path configured to increase an input from the input shaft and transmit the driving force to the continuously variable transmission device;
• a final output mechanism configured to output the driving force from the first output shaft or the second output shaft;
• a first friction clutch coaxial with the input shaft and configured to switch between establishing and interrupting power transmission from the input shaft to the first transmission path;
• a second friction clutch coaxial with the input shaft and configured to switch between establishing and interrupting power transmission from the input shaft to the second transmission path;
• a third friction clutch coaxial with the second output shaft and configured to switch between establishing and interrupting power transmission from the second pulley to the final output mechanism;
• and
• a fourth friction clutch coaxial with the first output shaft and configured to switch between establishing and interrupting power transmission from the first pulley to the final output mechanism.
