摘要:
The present invention provides apparatus which can be incorporated into a powered instrument that rotates a tool at varying rotational speeds and torques. The invention includes at least two drive plates, each of which rotates at a different speed and which exerts a different magnitude of torque. A movable member within the instrument selectively engages one of the two drive plates to couple that drive plate to the output shaft of the instrument. The apparatus can include a torque limiter which couples the input shaft to the output shaft only when the resistance to rotation offered by a drive plate is less than a predetermined value.

An alternating current electrical power generating system in which a generator (11) is driven by a fluid driven turbine (2), whose speed or torque may vary, which incorporates a differential drive unit (3) coupled to the turbine (2), the generator (11) and means, such as a reaction machine (6), arranged to control the torque on the respective input to the differential drive unit in response to changes in the speed of the turbine in the sense which tends to compensate for such speed variations and thereby reduce fluctuations of torque on the generator.

The disclosed speed-shift apparatus is for a sheet winch with a drum rotatably mounted on a base and can effect the shift of the speed-change ratio and the winch winding by one hand. A one-way transmission means having pawls and pawl-engaging grooves is provided between an input shaft and the winch drum. An interrupting member is rotatably carried by the base so as to selectively disengage said pawls from said pawl-engaging grooves and the interrupting means also has grooves for engaging said pawls.

A mechanism adapted to transfer torque from an input to an output shaft at either a unitary transmission ratio or a ratio exceeding unity wherein the transmission ratio is automatically changeable in response to the magnitude of the torque applied at the input shaft, the mechanism including automatic ratio changing means including a pawl supported on the output shaft for rotation therewith and for radial bodily movement relative thereto between a retracted position and an extended position directly coupling the input and output shafts, a cam on the input shaft adapted to cam the pawl from the extended to the retracted position under conditions of high torque input, an annular actuator disposed about the output shaft and adapted to be engaged and bodily shifted by the pawl transversely of the output shaft during movement of the latter from the extended to the retracted position, and a cam between the actuator and the output shaft adapted to impart to the actuator during transverse bodily motion an axial component of bodily motion operative to activate a planetary gear set disposed between the input and output shafts for increasing the torque transmission ratio therebetween.

A facsimile device including a two speed drive mechanism for driving the recording medium. The mechanism includes a reversible motor and a gearing means to drive the medium at one speed in a forward direction when the motor is operated in one direction and at a different speed in the forward direction when the motor is operated in the opposite direction.

A drive system for providing multiple output speeds in a single direction based upon a reversible input is disclosed. The drive system provides a dual drive path from an input to an output such that each separate drive path is capable of an overall gear ratio different from that of the other drive path. The drive path is selected by the direction of rotation of the input and is configured such that regardless of the drive path selected, the rotation of the output of the drive system will be in a single direction. The drive system utilizes two parallel auxiliary shafts disposed perpendicularly to a single drive shaft and an output shaft disposed parallel to the two auxiliary shafts. Both auxiliary shafts engage the drive shaft such that they are driven by the rotation of the drive shaft in directions opposite each other. Both auxiliary shafts have one way roller clutches disposed thereon so that the output will only be driven by one or the other of the auxiliary shafts depending on the direction of rotation of the drive shaft. The drive system of the present invention may be used in items such as commercial appliances to provide flexibility in selection of output speeds while maintaining a compact and easily serviced drive system.

Two-way transmission gears in which each power branch includes an intermediate shaft, each shaft being mounted for rotation in a different (separate) gear case portion, and in which the power distribution is effected by means of an axially freely adjustable shaft provided with double helical teeth extending in opposite directions, require for the assembling and disassembling thereof and for adjustment purposes at least one gear which is positioned for displacement and adjustment relative to another gear disposed on the same shaft. In the subject matter of the invention, it is contemplated normally to do without a displaceable and adjustable gear, in that the power-distributing shaft provided with pinions having oppositely extending helical teeth is axially displaced or shifted during the assembly or disassembly. A method for assembling two-way transmission gears is disclosed, also.

A directional gear ratio transmission which transfers all clockwise inputs at a gear ratio different from all counter clockwise inputs. A transmission housing 10 encloses first and second epicyclic gear assemblies, 20 and 60, which are controlled by first and second undirectional clutches, 90 and 95, and has a first shaft 11 and a second shaft 12 extending therefrom. Within the first epicyclic gear assembly 20 is a first sun gear 21 connected to the first shaft 11. First planet gears, 24, 25 and 26, mesh with the first sun gear 21and are held symmetrically about the first sun gear by a first planet gear carrier 36. A first ring gear 33 surrounds, and is also in mesh with the first planet gears 24, 25 and 26. Within the second epicyclic gear assembly 60 is a second sun gear 61 interconnected with the first planet gear carrier 36, by a connecting shaft 50. Second planet gears, 64, 65 and 66, mesh with the second sun gear 61 and are held symmetrically about the second sun gear by second planet gear carrier 76 which is connected to the first ring gear 33, by a connecting portion 51. Surrounding and in mesh with the second planet gears is a second ring gear 73 which is connected to the second shaft 12. First and second unidirectional clutches, 90 and 95, only allow rotation of the first planet gear carrier 36, and the first ring gear 33 in a common direction with respect to the transmission housing 10. This transmission inherently reverses all inputs to either the first or second shafts, and transmits all clockwise inputs to either shaft at a gear ratio different from all counterclockwise inputs.

A mechanical power transmission assembly for starting Stirling engines has a power input shaft driven by a starter motor and a plurality of power take off devices comprising at least two one-way clutches coupled to the shaft, one of which includes a reduction gear. A further power take off device comprises a third one-way clutch coupled to transmit torque from the second power take off device to the first power take off device. Thus a blower may be rotated at the same speed as the starter motor, and a starter gear at a lower speed until the engine speed increases, so that the blower motor can then be driven by the Stirling engine and the starter motor switched off.
