Hydraulic transmission apparatus including a pressurized fluid source and at least one hydraulic motor fed by said pressurized fluid source. The motor has two motor ducts for feed/discharge, and one casing duct. The motor can be operated in assisted mode, in which it generates torque or in unassisted mode in which it does not generate any torque and its pistons are maintained in the retracted position under the effect of the pressure in the casing duct. The apparatus further includes an accumulator suitable for feeding: This apparatus thus enables the motor to be positively clutched/declutched quickly.

Hydraulic transmission apparatus making quick positive clutching/declutching possible

A hydraulic transmission system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes a main pump serving to feed with fluid at least one hydraulic motor for driving a vehicle mover member; an auxiliary pump, the main pump and the auxiliary pump being suitable for being actuated jointly; and a 'bypass' connection between a delivery orifice of the auxiliary pump and an unpressurized reservoir. In addition, a first constriction is arranged on the bypass connection, and configured to maintain a pump protection pressure in a pump protection portion of the bypass connection. This pressure is applied to the main orifices of the main pump when said pump is actuated but is not delivering, thereby ensuring that the pump is protected.
