Claim 4:
5. A method for providing an over stop travel system on a gear system comprising:
providing a first gear and a second gear concentrically on a shaft so that the first gear and second gear are rotatable about said shaft;
driving the first gear and the second gear with the same input system;
configuring the first gear and the second gear to rotate about said shaft at different speeds and independently to each other; and
providing a first end stop on said first gear and a second end stop on said second gear, wherein the first end stop and the second end stop are configured to engage each other when the first gear and the second gear have each rotated a predetermined number of turns;
wherein engagement of the first end stop with the second end stop prevents rotation of the first gear and the second gear and causes a stall in the system;
wherein said first end stop of the first gear extends radially inwards from a circumferential edge of the first gear; and
wherein said second end stop extends radially outwards form a circumferential edge of the second gear.
