A continuous speed-change branched gear, in particular for motor vehicles, comprises a continuously controllable converter (40; 140) with an integrating planetary gear (4; 104; 204; 304; 404; 504) to add the power which is branched at the input of the gear in two power lines. The specific requirements made on the continuous converter (40; 140) are minimal, and thus the efficiency values are favorable. These elements (A, B; C, D) of the continuous converter are small and can be advantageously incorporated in a modular unit. It is besides possible to adapt them to a large extent to the specific requirements of different motor vehicles. The integrating planetary gear (4; 104; 204; 304; 404; 504) is linked to a second planetary gear unit (105; 205; 305) having planetary elements (31, 32; 47, 48, 49) which can be reciprocally coupled to each other. A starting clutch between the motor and the gear is not necessary, i.e. the driving shaft of the gear is directly coupled to the driving motor. |
