A power transmission. Two planetary gear trains each having its own carrier and its own planet, sun, and ring gears, each providing an input member, an output member, and a reaction member. The input member of one gear train is connected to an input means, and the two input members of the two gear trains are interconnected so that both are driven by the input means. The reaction members of the two gear trains are also interconnected. The output members of the two gear trains are separately clutchable to an output means, and speed varying means cause one output member to increase its speed and simultaneously cause the other output member to decrease its speed, and vice versa. The speed varying means may comprise a pair of hydraulic units hydraulically interconnected so that one serves as a pump while the other serves as a motor and vice versa, one of the units being connected in driving relation to the input means, and the other being connected in driving relation to the reaction members.

In a power transmission having input means and output means, the combination therewith of two planetary gear trains each having an input member, an output member and a reaction member, the input member of one said gear train being connectable to said input means, the input members of the two gear trains being interconnected so that both are driven by said input means, the reaction members of the two gear trains being at all times rotatable and at all times being interconnected so that they are not rotatable relative to each other, and the output members of the two gear trains being coaxial and rotatable with respect to each other, and rotary clutch means for separately clutching said output members to said output means. In a power transmission having input means and output means, the combination therewith of: two planetary gear trains each having its own carrier and its own planet, sun, and ring gears, to provide an input member, an output member and a reaction member, the input member of a first said gear train being a carrier and being connectable to said input means, the input member of a second said gear train being a ring gear and being connected by gear coupling to the carrier of said first gear train, so that both are driven by said input means, the reaction members of the two gear trains being sun gears mounted on a common reaction shaft, the output members of the two gear trains being separately clutchable to said output means, the output member of said first gear train being a ring gear, a stationary casing, a reduction planetary assembly having a sun gear, a ring gear, and planet gears and a carrier secured to said output means, driving connection means connecting said ring gear of said first gear train to the sun gear of said reduction planetary assembly, first clutch means for connecting said carrier of said second gear train to said carrier of said reduction planetary assembly, and first brake means for connecting said ring gear of said reduction planetary assembly to said stationary casing, to hold that ring gear stationary, said reduction planetary assembly and said first and second planetary assemblies all being identical to each other as to the sizes and teeth of their gears and carriers.
