A variator assembly comprises a variator of the toroidal-race rolling-traction type using double-acting pistons to control the rollers and differential end load pressure to load the variator, and control means operative to vary the differential end load pressure in sympathy with changes in the net pressure exerted by the roller-control pistons so as to maintain the traction coefficient at the roller disc interface consistently below the limit at which traction would be lost.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 2, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 2, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 2, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
