  • a force transmission with respect to bevel gears caused by friction elements should now be achieved here by means of bevel gears and by means of helical spring loops engaging in the bevel gears.
  • the conical friction ring according to the invention provides a friction connection between the friction ring and the friction cones, also the disclosed in the published patent DE 195 07 525 Al object does not affect the present conical friction ring gear.

  • the grooves can be spaced apart from one another less than one third of the width of the friction ring. By limiting the groove spacing follows a smoother running under load changes. It is understood that the groove distances explained above are also advantageous independently of the other features of the present invention for generic conical friction ring gears.
  • the friction surface has radially extending elevations for forming an axial variation. Even by means of such radial circumferential elevations a friction surface can be easily varied axially in design terms.
  • a structurally particularly preferred embodiment provides that radially encircling elevations of the friction surface are formed by convex regions of the friction surface.
  • the convex areas correspondingly rotate radially on a friction surface.
  • a particularly advantageous interplay between such circumferential convex areas and the circumferential grooves may result if a respective elevation of the friction surface forming a convex area is arranged between two grooves of the friction surface.
  • a friction surface can be made particularly rich in variation.
  • grooves and elevations on the friction surface form a groove profile of the friction surface, which varies axially.
  • a friction ring can rub off in a particularly wear-resistant manner and with suitably selected changes in the surface pressure.
  • the elevations of the groove profile form peaks of the friction surface, wherein these wave peaks can advantageously be designed as convex regions with a radius of over 0.1 millimeter.
  • a further particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention provides that the friction ring in interaction with a friction cone always covers at least two or more elevations of one of the friction surfaces. Covered the Friction ring at least two or more surveys, the risk is almost excluded that the friction ring can tip into an existing groove or runs restless. Advantageously, this can also prevent that a convex region of the friction surface is subjected to extremely unfavorable, which would result in increased wear of the friction surface.
