Title: Improved Reversing Gearing.
Inventor: STRUCK WILHELM
Filed: 1908-12-19
Granted: 1909-12-20
Abstract: 27,665. Struck, W. Dec. 19. Motor road vehicles. - In toothed reversing-gearing, suitable for motor-vehicles, there is employed for the forward drive a friction clutch comprising springs limited in extension so as not to be able alone to press the members into engagement. The arrangement is such that these clutch springs transmit no pressure to the shafts. An additional positive clutch may also become operative. The motor shaft 1 carries a flywheel 2, which carries a casing 5 for taking the thrust of the clutch springs 21 when the clutch is engaged. The movable member 18 of the clutch carries a casing 9 for taking the thrust of the spring 21 when the clutch is disengaged. A sun-wheel 10 secured to the propeller shaft 3 meshes with a broad pinion 12 carried by the casing 9. The pinion 12 is geared through an idler with a sun-pinion 13, which is loose on the shaft 3 and is rotatably connected to the fly-wheel 2 by a disk 14 and a sliding toothed connexion 15. The casing 9 is connected through a sleeve 25 with a drum 31, which is adapted to be held stationary when engaged with a fixed member 32. The springs 21 are coiled upon bolts 20 which carry collars adapted to engage the casing 9 and so limit the extension of the springs 21. To the ends of the bolts 20 is attached one of a pair of disks 23, which are separated by ball thrust bearings 23<1> and are drawn together by a spring 24. A hand-lever 30 operates a collar 26, which can be slid to the right to bring the mem bers 31, 32 into engagement. The shaft 3 is then driven by the shaft 1 in the opposite direction. The ends of toggle links 34 are pivoted to the collar 26 and to the casing 5 respectively. When the collar 26 is slid to the left, the links 34 are thrust between the casing 5 and the disks 23. The bolts 20 are thrust to the left, compressing the springs 21, the tension of which in thrusting the clutch 18 into engagement with the fly-wheel 2 is supported by the links 34 and casing 5. The gearing then rotates solid, giving the direct drive. For locking the parts positively together, pins 56 may be provided passing through the wheel 10 and adapted to engage teeth 52 on the face of the pinion 13. These pins 56 are secured to a sleeve 57, which is traversed longitudinally from a lever 66 and helical cams 64 through sliding bolts 61 and a collar 58.
