A traction transmission mechanism comprising toric shaped inner and outer race elements, a series of pairs of transmission rollers arranged between the race elements, and drive shaft and driven shaft or other structure constructively cooperating with the mechanism, to furnish an output force, with the transmission incorporating various load equalization structure to furnish substantially floating characteristics to one of the supported race elements, to provide radial and tangential shifting to the roller elements as arranged between the race elements, and to adjust one of the race elements, or more specifically one of its pair of races, towards or away from each other, to change the traction force generated within the transmission mechanism during its functioning.

A traction transmission mechanism comprising a toric inner race element, a toric outer race element, encircling and complimentary with the inner race element, and arranged concentric therewith, a driving means operatively associated with one of the race elements to drive the same, a race element support means, one of said race elements being the driving race and the other of said elements being the driven race, said driving race element being formed of separate halves, transmission roller means operatively associated with said driving and driven race elements and arranged for limited pivot between the race elements to drive by traction force the said driven race element from the driving race element and thereby mounted for angular pivotal adjustment to vary the speed of the driven race element, said driven race being supported only by the driving race and the transmission roller means, and at least three equalization means operatively associated with said transmission roller means and race elements to balance any unequal forces exerted therein upon the roller means during transmission functioning, and a driven means operatively associated with the other of said inner and outer race elements and providing output force upon functioning of the transmission mechanism, said equalization means including a first equalization means operatively associated with the said transmission roller means to provide for the tangential shifting of said roller means between the race elements to induce speed variation in the output derived from the transmission mechanism, the second equalization means operatively associated with the transmission roller means, wherein said roller means being substantially loosely supported at least at one of its ends to provide for variation in the radial spacing provided between the race elements, and a third equalization means operatively associated with the transmission mechanism and providing for adjustment in the setting of the space between separate halves of one of said inner and outer race elements, with respect to each other.
