F16H 15/10

in which the axes of the two members cross or intersect

Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Gearings for conveying rotary motion with variable gear ratio, or for reversing rotary motion, by friction between rotary members > without members having orbital motion > Gearings providing a continuous range of gear ratios > in which a member A of uniform effective diameter mounted on a shaft may co-operate with different parts of a member B > in which the member B is a disc with a flat or approximately-flat friction surface > in which the axes of the two members cross or intersect

CPC:

Gearings for conveying rotary motion with variable gear ratio, or for reversing rotary motion, by friction between rotary members (control of change-speed or reversing-gearings conveying rotary motion F16H59/00 - F16H63/00) > without members having orbital motion > Gearings providing a continuous range of gear ratios > in which a member A of uniform effective diameter mounted on a shaft may co-operate with different parts of a member B > in which the member B is a disc with a flat or approximately flat friction surface > in which the axes of the two members cross or intersect

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.
