Filed:

Mar 13, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/805312

Inventors:

Kenneth B. Kaye - Floral City FL 34436

International Classification:

F16D 370

US Classification:

464 71, 464 83

Abstract:

A coupling assembly adapted to connect an engine directly to a transmission, comprising in combination a flywheel adapted to be connected to the engine. A modified transmission plate for connecting the transmission to the flywheel is provided. The modified transmission plate has a plurality of connection ports that contain alternatively at least a first torsional dampener and at least a second torsional dampener that are positioned within the connection port. The first torsional dampener has a first indentation hardness that is less than the second indentation hardness of the second torsional dampener. The first torsional dampener is adapted to dampen engine idle vibrations and the second torsional dampener is adapted to dampen engine acceleration vibrations. Whereby, the first torsional dampener and the second torsional dampener reduce the emission of torsional vibrations between the engine and the transmission.

International Classification:

F16H 5702

US Classification:

74606R

Abstract:

A transmission for propeller driven vehicles comprising semi-floating input and output shafts rotatably supported in a main gear case. The shafts are supported on bearings which are free from any locking engagement with the shafts. The bearings are secured in bearing bores positioned in both the bell housing and the main gear case. A vent tube is positioned in the bell housing which is aligned with the output shaft such that the output shaft rotates about the vent tube. Also, an opening is created between the junction of the bell housing and the engine of the vehicle to be propelled. This opening acts as an air induction duct for receiving air for cooling the transmission.
