Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gears.
Inventor: VEULLE FREDERICK HENRY DE
IPC: F16H29/08
Filed: 1910-07-05
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 16,024. Veulle, F. H. de. July 5. Variable-speed and reversing gearing. - In variable-speed gearing comprising grooved disks oscillated by a driving-cam and adjustably engaged by crank-pins, as described in Specification 15,326/08, reversible ratchet clutches are employed together with means for reversing the clutches when the zero position of the gear is being crossed. A further pin-and-groove device is used also in each gear system in the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. The driving-shaft A carries a cam B, which engages and drives pins C<2> projecting from oscillatable disks C supported in a fixed plate D. Other oscillatable disks F have grooves E<2> engaged by pins E on the disks C, and also grooves H<2> engaged by crank-pins H. The crank-pins H impart a rocking motion to spindles K, which carry loose gears L meshing with a central pinion O on the driven shaft O<2>. The pins E, H engage the disks F on opposite sides of their centres, as shown in Fig. 2. A plate G carrying the disks F can be turned about the axis of the gearing, and the effect of such turning is to vary the extents of the oscillations of the spindles K. The spindles K drive the gears L through ratchet clutches M, Fig. 1, of a type which can be reversed by the movement of a rod N. The rod N is operated from the upper end of a lever N<3>, and it is arranged that, when the plate G is turned to bring the oscillations of the spindles K to zero, the rod N is operated so that further turning of the plate G effects reversed driving. For this purpose, an operating-disk R, Fig. 6, carries a pin R<2> engaging a slot Q<2> in a slide Q, which has inclined teeth adapted to turn the plate G. The rim of the disk R is formed as a cam adapted to operate the lever N<3>, as required, through a slide P. In a modification, only one set of oscillatable disks is employed.
