Patent GB-190825553-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Reversing Gear.
Inventor: SAVORY GERALD
Filed: 1908-11-26
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 25,553. Savory, G. Nov. 26. Reversing-gearing.-Relates to reversing-gearing suitable for propelling boats of the kind comprising fcur coned clutch members grouped together. For forward driving, the propeller shaft f is moved to the left to bring a clutch member upon it into engagement with a member b upon the motor shaft b<1>. The gearing comprises toothed members e, h meshing constantly with pinions i<1> upon non-rotatable spindles i, and thereby constrained to turn in opposite directions. The gears e, h are connected respectively to clutch members a, d, and the arrangement is such that, when the shaft f is moved to the right, the member c engages the member d, and the gear as a whole moves until the member a picks up the member b. Reversed driving then takes place with the thrust of the propeller holding the clutches in engagement. This thrust is taken up by a ball bearing m between extensions a<1>, g of the members a, d, respectively. Links k<2> connect the spindles i to a lever k which traverses the shaft f, thus ensuring the disengagement of both reversing-clutches before forward driving. In modifications, the clutches are grouped differently, and spur gearing is employed. In one arrangement, the reversing clutch members are slidable relatively to the gearing, wbich is fixed and comprises a number of sets of trains arranged with a view to distributing the power.
