Title: Improvements in or relating to Toothed Gearing.
Inventor: TREWHELLA WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 19,477. Trewhella, W. Sept. 16. Gearing; lifting- jacks.-To divide the load between two sets of gears in lifting- jacks, cranes, &c., and to obviate irregularities in the meshing of toothed elements of a gear train, a loose or floating pinion 8 is arranged to engage two pinions 12, 13, which are respectively attached to pinions 1, 2 meshing with a toothed element such as a rack 6 or wheel 7. The distance apart of the axes 3, 4 is slightly less than an integral number of teeth of the rack &c. Slight imperfections in the meshing of the toothed elements are compensated for by a free lateral, but parallel, movement of the floating pinion. A driving-pulley or crank handle may be mounted upon the axle of the floating pinion, or this pinion may be the driven element of the gear. The floating pinion, or those with which it meshes, or both, may be shrouded as shown at 14. In a modification, the pinions 12,13 are duplicated and are engaged by duplicate pinions 8 upon a floating axle. In another form the pinions engaged by the floating pinion mesh directly with the rack &c.
