Abstract
A synchronizer for a transmission to be used aboard a motor vehicle, includes: a primary shaft; a bell-shaped member assembled on the primary shaft having inside a friction cylindrical surface; a supporting element, revolvingly mounted on the primary shaft and housed within the bell-shaped member; a shoe having a friction profile located within an outer edge of the supporting element and faced towards the friction cylindrical surface of the bell-shaped member, jointed to the supporting element by a pair of arms in an articulated quadrilateral linkage configuration; and means for translating the shoe by rotating said arms both in clockwise and counter clockwise direction, by causing a projection of the shoe above the outer edge of the supporting element, interference of an end of the shoe with said friction cylindrical surface of the bell-shaped member, thereby causing a jamming thereof.
