Electronic vehicular transmission, controllable coupling assembly and coupling member for use in the assembly

Abstract

An electronic vehicular transmission, a controllable coupling assembly and a coupling member for use in the assembly are provided. The member is configured for rotation about a rotational axis and includes a first coupling face oriented to face axially along the axis and has a set of pockets angularly-spaced about the axis. Each of the pockets receives a first locking element and defines a first load-bearing surface adapted for abutting engagement with a load-bearing surface of its respective first locking element. A second coupling face is oriented to face radially with respect to the axis and has a set of locking formations. Each of the set of locking formations defines a second load-bearing surface adapted for abutting engagement with a load-bearing surface of a second locking element.
