Toothed gearings for conveying rotary motion with variable gear ratio or for reversing rotary motion > without gears having orbital motion > exclusively or essentially with continuously- meshing gears, that can be disengaged from their shafts > characterised by the disposition of the gears > with two or more countershafts > the input and output shafts being aligned on the same axis

CPC:

Toothed gearings for conveying rotary motion with variable gear ratio or for reversing rotary motion (speed-changing or reversing mechanisms F16H59/00 - F16H63/00) > without gears having orbital motion > exclusively or essentially with continuously meshing gears, that can be disengaged from their shafts > characterised by the disposition of the gears (F16H3/083, F16H3/085 take precedence) > with two or more countershafts > the input and output shafts being aligned on the same axis
