First Claim:
Show all 34 claims
What I claim is:     1. A vehicle comprising a frame, wheels and a noncontact gripping force driving mechanism, said noncontact gripping force driving mechanism comprises an engaging means which enabling slow wheel to be engaged to drive and fast wheel to be disengaged to free run,
  • said engaging means comprising a hub body, a driving drum, poles of noncontact force, a driving shaft and a shift screw, said poles of noncontact force being embedded inside said driving drum and said frame, said shift screws being on said driving shaft, said engaging drum being rotationally mounted on said shift screw, said poles of noncontact force being coupled between said driving drum and said frame to provide gripping force to said driving drum,
  • said driving shaft being supported on a truck with bearings being mounted on the driving shaft, said hub body being mounted on said bearings,
  • a rotational motion of said driving shaft being transferred from said shaft to said hub body through the incorporation of said hub body and said driving drum,
  • as said shaft being rotated in one direction, said drum being pushed toward a wall of said hub body to engage said hub body, said hub body being rotated together with said shaft,
  • as said shaft slowing down, said hub body disengaging with said drum and becoming free running,
  • as said shaft being rotated in a reverse direction, said drum being pushed toward another wall of said hub body to engage said hub body, said hub body being rotated in a reverse direction.
