Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.
Field: Engines, pumps, turbines (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC F | IPC B  F

Claim 17:
18. A generator for an engine-driven power system, the generator comprising:
a generator shaft configured to rotate a rotor that is arranged to rotate relative to a stator, wherein the generator shaft operates as an intermediary between an engine and the belt-driven component;
a driven pulley fixedly coupled to the generator shaft,
wherein the driven pulley is configured to receive a rotational force at a first rotational speed from the engine via a first belt; and
a driving generator pulley fixedly coupled to and driven by the generator shaft,
wherein the driving generator pulley comprises an integrated clutch mechanism and has a first diameter that is greater than a second diameter of the driven pulley, and
wherein the driven pulley is configured to transfer the rotational force to the belt-driven component via a second belt to drive the belt-driven component at a second rotational speed; and

a belt-driven pulley coupled to the belt-driven component,
wherein the belt-driven component is configured to receive the rotational force at a third rotational speed,
wherein the driving generator pulley and the belt-driven pulley are drivingly coupled to one another via a second belt, and
wherein the generator shaft is configured to operate an intermediary between the engine and the belt-driven component.
