Abstract
A transmission apparatus has a transmission casing which is divided into two parts, namely, a front part casing, shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a front part of the transmission casing and a rear part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone, for forming a rear part of the transmission casing. The rear part casing and the front part casing are connected to each other so as to form the transmission casing which has a cross section which gradually decreases from the front to the back of the transmission casing.
Claims10
A transmission apparatus having a transmission casing and a transmission housed in the transmission casing, said transmission including a clutch, various speed gears, a shaft for supporting said various speed gears, front and rear bearings spatially provided in an axial direction of said shaft for rotatably supporting said shaft relative to said transmission casing, and speed gear shift means, having a control rod and a gear change lever, for changing gear speeds, said transmission casing comprising:
- a front part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a front part of said transmission casing;
- a rear part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a rear part of said transmission casing, said rear part casing being connected to said front part casing so as to form said transmission casing so that it has a cross section gradually decreasing from its front to its back;
- wherein a generally cylindrical transitional portion is formed by a rear end portion of said front part casing and a front end portion of said rear part casing, said generally cylindrical transitional portion being displaced behind the front bearing and in front of the rear bearing in the axial direction of said shaft.
A transmission apparatus having a transmission casing and a transmission housed in the transmission casing, said transmission including a clutch, various speed gears, speed gear shift means, having a control rod and a gear change lever, for changing gear speeds, said transmission casing comprising:
- a front part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a front part of said transmission casing;
- and
- a rear part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a rear part of said transmission casing, said rear part casing being connected to said front part casing so as to form said transmission casing so that it has a cross section gradually decreasing from the front to the back of said transmission casing, wherein said front part casing forms therein a clutch housing for housing said clutch and a transmission housing partly extending in said clutch housing for housing a part of said transmission and said rear part casing is provided with an oil path formed in an inclined wall thereof.
A transmission apparatus having a transmission casing and a transmission housed in the transmission casing, said transmission including a clutch, various speed gears, speed gear shift means, having a control rod and a gear change lever, for changing gear speeds, said transmission casing comprising:
- a front part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a front part of said transmission casing;
- a rear part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a rear part of said transmission casing, said rear part casing being connected to said front part casing so as to form said transmission casing so that it has a cross section gradually decreasing from the front to the back of said transmission casing;
- and
- a slidable yoke, disposed in a rear end portion of said rear part casing, for connecting said transmission to a propeller shaft wherein said rear part casing is provided with an oil path, formed in an inclined wall thereof, for supplying lubrication oil to said yoke.
A transmission apparatus having a transmission casing and a transmission housed in the transmission casing, said transmission including a clutch, various speed gears, speed gear shift means, having a control rod and a gear change lever, for changing gear speeds, said transmission casing comprising:
- a front part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a front part of said transmission casing;
- and
- a rear part casing shaped generally as a frustum of a cone for forming a rear part of said transmission casing, said rear part casing being connected to said front part casing so as to form said transmission casing so that it has a cross section gradually decreasing from the front to the back of said transmission casing, wherein said rear part casing is provided with an oil path formed in an inclined wall thereof.
