Abstract:
The transverse tooth profile of a screw rotor which meshes with a companion screw rotor is defined by a tooth root circular arc, an outer circumferential circular arc, and two curves interconnecting the tooth root circular arc and the outer circumferential circular arc. One of the curves is defined by a trochoid curve generated by a point on an outer circumferential surface of the companion screw rotor. Alternatively, the curve may comprise two curve segments, and one of the two curve segments comprising a tooth tip arc which is defined as an arc having a radius of curvature equal to or smaller than the difference between a radius of curvature of the outer circumferential circular arc and a radius of a pitch circle of the tooth profile, and the other of the two curve segments comprising a curve connected to the tooth root circular arc and determined by a curve generated by the tooth tip arc of the companion screw rotor. The other curve is defined by determining a curve which defines an imaginary rack and thereafter producing a tooth profile curve generated by the imaginary rack.
Abstract:
A method for simultaneously cutting and chamfering involute gears. The pressure angle .alpha..sub.1 and module M of the teeth of a hob for cutting the teeth are selected with respect to the nominal pressure angle .alpha..sub.0 and nominal module m of the gear to be cut according to the following equation: m cos .alpha..sub.0 =M cos .alpha..sub.1. According to the present invention, a single hob cutter is sufficient to cut gears having a wide range of numbers of teeth.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a positive displacement flow meter having a pair of rotors to be rotatably engaged with each other which are provided with tooth profile curves of a cycloid and of a trochoid.Since the tooth profile of one rotor is equal to that of the other rotor, transmission of energy between the two rotors is uniform, and wear of teeth of the two rotors being reduced.

Abstract:
A silent chain power transmitting apparatus has an endless link chain having a plurality of link plates (11A,11B,11C, . . . ) connected together, and sprocket wheels (20). Each of an inside flank (13) and an outside flank (14) of each link plate (11A,11B,11C, . . . ) is profiled by a circular shape of a same radius (ρ) of curvature whose individual center (d1, . . . ) of curvature is on a chain pitch line (PL). Each tooth (22) of the sprocket wheel (20) is profiled by a circular shape of the same radius(ρ) of curvature, which is meshed with corresponding inside flank (13) and outside flank (14) of each link plate (11A,11B,11C, . . . ). A power of the sprocket wheel (20) is transmitted to the link plates (11A,11B,11C, . . . ) in linear contact (or surface contact) momentarily, not in point contact.
Abstract:
The gears according to the present invention have a unique tooth-profile in which the radius of curvature repeatedly increases and decreases from the pitch line in the direction of addendum and deddendum of a tooth without monotonously changing, and at the point where the relative of curvature is minimum, the center of the radius of curvature is positioned on the pitch line. Specifically, the curvature of the tooth-profile curve is a function which is not monotonously varied, is continuous and is capable of being differentiated, and a locus of the center of curvature forms a series of continuous curves which exist near the pitch circle. Forming the tooth-profile thus enables the relative of curvature to be brought from the value in the involute gear near that of a Wildhaver-Novikov type, with the contact interval being more than one. Also, the operating pressure angle is decreased to prevent the increase in the surface pressure and the bearing stress, and the relative of curvature between the tooth-surfaces of the gears is maintained at a lower level than the conventional one, markedly increasing the strength of the tooth-profile. The present invention can also be applied to internal gears, bevel gear, etc.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a positive displacement flow meter with helical toothed rotors, in which respective tooth profiles are continuously contacted with each other in order not to cause any blockage of fluid between the respective tooth profile curves. The flow meter has a pair of helical toothed rotors which are rotatable each other with no pulsation and the tooth-to-tooth surface contact pressure is maintained zero. Each of the two rotors has the same profile and the same size. Further, a plurality of curved projections can be mounted on a tooth profile of each rotor.
