A gear transmission with an anti-rattle system

摘要

An anti-rattle system for a gear type transmission including a first part and a second part. One of the parts of the anti-rattle system includes a pair of deformable pressure discs with parallel facing flat surfaces. The flat surfaces of the pressure discs are in parallel planes that are perpendicular to an axis of rotation. The other part includes a friction disc with an outer periphery positioned between the parallel flat surfaces so that the pressure discs are deformed and spread apart by the friction disc. One of the parts is attached to a drive gear and another one of the parts is attached to a gear in mesh with the drive gear. Another one of the parts could also be attached to an anti-rattle assembly counter shaft.
