In an infinite speed ratio transmission a fixed speed ratio transmission (130) outputting the rotation of a first shaft (310A, 310B) at a fixed speed ratio to a first gear (132) on a second shaft (320), and a continuously variable transmission (100) outputting the rotation of the first shaft (310A,
In an infinite speed ratio transmission a fixed speed ratio transmission (130) outputting the rotation of a first shaft (310A, 310B) at a fixed speed ratio to a first gear (132) on a second shaft (320), and a continuously variable transmission (100) outputting the rotation of the first shaft (310A, 310B) at an arbitrary speed ratio to a second gear (142) fixed to the second shaft (320) are provided. Further, a planetary gear set (120) comprising a sun gear (120S), planet carrier (120C) and a ring gear (120R) is disposed between the first gear (132) and second gear (142), and a final output gear (3) is disposed between the planetary gear set (120) and second gear (142). The sun gear (120S) is joined to the second gear (142), the planet carrier (120C) is joined to the first gear (132) and the ring gear (120R) is joined to the final output gear (3). With this arrangement, the infinite speed ratio transmission can be made compact.

1. An infinite speed ratio transmission, comprising: a first shaft connected to an engine; a second shaft disposed in parallel with the first shaft; a fixed speed ratio transmission comprising a first rotating element supported free to rotate on the second shaft, the first rotating element outputting a rotation of the first shaft at a fixed speed ratio; a continuously variable transmission comprising a second rotating element fixed to the second shaft, the second rotating element outputting the rotation of the first shaft at an arbitrary speed ratio; a planetary gear set disposed between the first rotating element and the second rotating element on the second shaft, the planetary gear set comprising a sun gear joined to the second rotating element via the second shaft, a planet carrier joined to the first rotating element, and a ring gear which varies rotation direction and rotation speed according to a difference of a rotation speed of the sun gear and a rotation speed of the planet carrier; a final output member joined to the ring gear, the final output member being disposed between the planetary gear set and the second rotating element; a first clutch which can disengage and join the first rotating element and the planet carrier; and a second clutch which can join the second rotating element and the final output member. 2. The infinite speed ratio transmission as defined in claim 1, wherein the fixed speed ratio transmission is disposed between the engine and the continuously variable transmission. 3. The infinite speed ratio transmission as defined in claim 1, wherein the final output member is supported on the second shaft via a bearing which can support a radial load and thrust load acting on the final output member. 4. The infinite speed ratio transmission as defined in claim 3, wherein the final output member comprises a gear having plural teeth, and the bearing comprises a pair of tapered roller bearings having an effective span wider than a width of the teeth. 5. The infinite speed ratio transmission as defined in claim 1, wherein the second clutch comprises a clutch drum which rotates together with the second shaft, a clutch hub accommodated in the clutch drum and fixed to the final output gear, and a piston which brings the clutch drum to engage with the clutch hub, and the second rotating element comprises a gear fixed to an outer circumference of the clutch drum. 6. The infinite speed ratio transmission as defined in claim 5, wherein the infinite speed ratio transmission further comprises a pair of tapered roller bearings which support the final output member on an outer circumference of the second shaft, the tapered roller bearings comprising inner races which rotate together with the second shaft and supporting a radial load and a thrust load acting on the final output member, a bearing collar fitted on the outer circumference of the second shaft between the inner races, and a nut which is fitted to the second shaft to secure the inner races, the bearing collar and the clutch drum on the outer circumference of the second shaft by exerting a load in an axial direction. 7. The infinite speed ratio transmission as defined in claim 1, wherein the second shaft is different from the final output member.
