Abstract
A transmission for a working machine including a drive transmission mechanism and a working transmission mechanism operated by swinging a shift lever is provided. The drive transmission mechanism has a key-sliding transmission mechanism axially mounted on a drive shaft. The key-sliding transmission mechanism causes a selected one of a plurality of gears rotatably mounted on the drive shaft and the drive shaft to rotate together to transmit power to drive wheels.
Claims6
A transmission for varying power of a motor on a working transmission shaft and on a drive transmission shaft by operation of a shift lever for transmission to working devices and drive wheels, comprising:
- on the working transmission shaft,
- an input gear for receiving power of the motor;
- a constant-mesh transmission mechanism for transmitting power of the input gear to the working devices or cutting off the power;
- and
- a first gear row comprising a plurality of gears integrally mounted on the working transmission shaft;
- and
- on the drive transmission shaft,
- a second gear row comprising a plurality of gears rotatably mounted on the drive transmission shaft and meshing with the first gear row;
- and
- a key-sliding transmission mechanism axially movably mounted for rotating a selected one of the gears and the drive transmission shaft together to transmit power to the drive wheels;
- and
- shift members attached to the constant-mesh transmission mechanism and the keysliding transmission mechanism, respectively, the shift members being axially movable when engaged with the shift lever for effecting a shift operation.
