PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive power split type continuously variable transmission having a simple mechanism. SOLUTION: This power split type continuously variable transmission is provided with a torque converter 2 having a lock-up mechanism, a variator input shaft 3 connected with the torque converter 2, a toroidal type variator 4 connected with the variator input shaft, a mechanical loading mechanism 12 connected with the variator input shaft 3 to press an input disc 5 toward an output disc 7, a bypass shaft 13 connected with the variator input shaft 3, and a planetary gear mechanism 16 composed of a first rotary element connected with the output side of the toroidal type variator 4 and connectable with an output shaft selectively through an advance clutch 18, a second rotary element connectable with the bypass shaft selectively through a bypass clutch 14, and a third rotary element connected with the output shaft 19. The planetary gear mechanism 16 and the toroidal type variator 4 are coaxially arranged, and the bypass shaft 13 passes through the inner periphery of the toroidal type variator 4. The diameter of the bypass shaft 13 is set to be smaller than the diameter of the variator input shaft 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
