Mechanism for alternatively meshing a first gear train element with a second gear train element

摘要

The mechanism has an operator controlled actuator to receive a shift selection signal from an operator to generate a shift kinetic energy. An energy storage device stores the kinetic energy as a potential energy if a gear is misaligned with another gear. The storage device releases the potential energy when the former gear aligns with the latter gear to shift the former gear to mesh with the latter gear. An Independent claim is also included for a feeder house transmission.
