Ratchet gearing ; clutches.-Relates to balance gear for transmitting motion to adjacent ends of a divided shaft or vehicle axle, and comprises two friction ratchet clutches with pawls interlocked to limit their relative motion. A gear element c, Fig. 1, to which the power is imparted, has a boss g riding upon the bosses f<1>, f<2> of disks b<1>, b<2> keyed to the ends a<1>, a<2> of the divided shaft. The disks b<1>, b<2> have flanges h<1>, h<2> concentric with the shafts a<1>, a<2>. The external surfaces of the boss g are eccentric, and between them and the flanges h<1>, h<2> are situated eccentric friction pawls d<1>, d<2> which become jammed so as to transmit motion. A pin e projects from the pawl d' through a slot in the element c into a hole k in the pawl d<2> large enough to allow a limited relative motion of the pawls. When either of the shaft ends a', a<2> overruns, the other, the corresponding pawl turns far enough to become free, but is restrained by the other pawl from turning so far as to become engaged in the opposite direction. In a modification, shown in Fig. 7, additional eccentric rings l are interposed between the external surfaces of the boss g and the pawls d', d<2>. The rings l are loose upon the boss but are restrained by springs m. In a further modification, shown in Figs. 11 and 12, cages n<1>, n<2> with rollers p<1>, p<2> are used instead of the eccentric pawls.
