Control of gearing conveying rotary motion[5]

Note(s) Attention is drawn to the Notes following the title of subclass B60W.[5,8]In groups F16H 59/00-F16H 63/00, clutches positioned within a gearbox are considered as comprising part of the gearings.In groups F16H 59/00-F16H 63/00, the following terms or expressions are used with the meaning indicated: "final output element" means the final element which is moved to establish a gear ratio, i.e. which achieves the linking between two power transmission means, e.g. reverse idler gear, gear cluster, coupling sleeve, apply piston of a hydraulic clutch;"mechanism" means a kinematic chain consisting either of a single element or alternatively of a series of elements, the position of each point on the kinematic chain being derivable from the position of any other point on the chain, and therefore, for a given position of a point on one of the elements forming the kinematic chain there is only one position for each of the other points on the element or series of elements forming the kinematic chain;"final output mechanism" means the mechanism which includes the final output element;"actuating mechanism" means the mechanism, the movement of which causes the movement of another mechanism by being in mutual contact;"final actuating mechanism" means the mechanism actuating the final output mechanism. Combinations of features individually covered by group F16H 61/00 and one or both of groups F16H 59/00 and F16H 63/00 are classified in group F16H 61/00.Combinations of features individually covered by groups F16H 59/00 and F16H 63/00 are classified in group F16H 63/00.When classifying in groups F16H 59/00-F16H 63/00, control inputs or types of gearing which are not identified by the classification according to Notes (4) and (5), and which are considered to represent information of interest for search, may also be classified. Such non-obligatory classification should be given as "additional information", e.g. selected from subgroup F16H 61/66 relating to the type of gearing controlled or from group F16H 59/00 relating to control inputs.
