Abstract
A single piece spring member which replaces the normal insert and spread spring ring arrangements, under the influence of the coupling sleeve moving toward a gear, biases the baulk ring against the gear to induce an initial stage of synchronization, until the coupling sleeve splines slip past the spring, whereafter engagement of chamfers on the coupling sleeve splines and with those on the teeth formed on the baulk ring, completes the synchronization and permits the coupling sleeve to move into engagement with teeth on the gear.
Claims6
In a transmission synchronizer
- a synchro hub formed with an aperture;
- a coupling sleeve formed with first splines on an internal surface thereof, said splines having chamfers at each end;
- a baulk ring operatively associated with a transmission gear, said baulk ring being formed with second splines which are engageable with said first splines;
- and
- a single piece spring disposed in said aperture, said spring comprising:
- first and second side members extending radially with respect to said synchro hub and being flexible toward each other in a direction which is essentially normal to the radius of said synchro hub, said first and second side members being formed with portions which are engageable with the chamfers on the first splines;
- a base member which extends radially inward into said aperture to a level which is radially inferior of said second splines formed on said baulk ring and which is engageable with said baulk ring to bias said baulk ring in an axial direction thereof upon axial movement of said coupling sleeve toward said transmission gear.
