Filed:

Sep 15, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/882936

Inventors:

Goro Tamai - West Bloomfield MI, US
Dumitru Puiu - Sterling Heights MI, US
Scott A. Miller - Northville MI, US

Assignee:

Chrysler Group LLC - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

F16H 3/72

US Classification:

475 5

Abstract:

A compound-input is provided for an electrically variable transmission for a motor vehicle. The compound-input electrically variable transmission has improved input gear ratios that allow the vehicle engine to be operated in its desired efficiency and/or performance range during both city and highway vehicle operation. Further, the multi-speed input electrically variable transmission provides an input brake without the need for a dedicated input brake clutch or braking mechanism and incorporates a reverse gear for reverse operation.

Appl. No.:

8/731634

Inventors:

Bradley Ronald Heuver - Garden City MI
Dale Eltinge Martin - Novi MI

Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

B60T 106
B60K 4126

US Classification:

192 4A

Abstract:

A park lock mechanism for an automatic transmission includes a park apply rod for selectively engaging and disengaging a park pawl with a park gear. The park apply rod is actuated by a plate member having a slot formed therein. The slot defines a cam portion and a lost motion portion whereby the cam portion causes the park apply rod to move longitudinally so as to actuate the park pawl. The lost motion portion limits longitudinal travel of the park apply rod in any gear other than park. A reaction member is also used to limit the degrees of freedom of the park apply rod.
