    摘要: A transmission device includes an external transmission device, an internal transmission device, and a spacer ring. The external transmission device is cylindrical and has an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall has a plurality of inwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The internal transmission device is disposed in the inner wall and has an outer circumferential surface including a plurality of outwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The spacer ring is located between and contacts the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device and the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device. When torque between the external transmission device and the internal transmission device is greater than a predetermined torque, one or more of the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device or the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device deform and the external transmission device rotationally slips relative to the internal transmission device.

    摘要: A spur gear transmission has at least two meshing, toothed spur gears. A covering wall surrounds the spur gears circumferentially and in the direction of their rotational axes. The covering wall has an inner contour adapted to the outer diameters of the spur gears. Two annular gaps which transition into each other are formed between the covering wall and the spur gears. The annular gap is substantially concentric to a rotational axis. The covering wall surrounds the two spur gears circumferentially only over a part of the circumference, with a part of the outer circumference of the two spur gears or one of the two spur gears protruding outwards out of the covering wall. The part of the two spur gears or of the one spur gear that protrudes out of the covering wall is positioned on the lower face of the spur gears.
