A pumping system for a transmission system having a single pump
functionally connected to a mechanical power source and an electrical
power source is provided. The connections between the pump and the
mechanical power source and electrical power source include at least one
roller clutch, which permits only one of the power sources to drive the
pump at any given time. Additionally, the functional connections, which
may be chains, provide that the pump and the electrical power source may
be located non-coaxial with the center axis of the transmission system,
as may be preferred for improved packaging. The dual-chain and roller
clutch pumping system is appropriate for gasoline/electric hybrid
vehicles where pumping may be necessary when the engine is off and
limited packaging space is available in the transmission housing.
