Abstract: 3425. Humphris Patent Gear & Engineering Co., and Smith, R. H. Feb. 10. Toothed wheels and pinions of an interchangeable set of gearing including pinions with a very small number of teeth, such as five, six, or seven, have concave flanks and great closeness of fit between pairing teeth. The tooth forms are deduced from a path of contact such as a, b, c, Fig. 3, which is only slightly curved at the parts near the pitch point b and is of increasing curvature towards both ends. In Fig. 3, d, b, f represents the pitch line of a pinion, and g, b, h that of a wheel. Closeness of fit is measured by half the sum of the reciprocals of the radii of curvature of the touching surfaces at their touching points. The Specification contains mathematical analysis. and equations representing the paths of contact from which the tooth contours are derived. Specifications 27,491/07, 28,209/07, and 22,535/08 are referred to.
