Improvements in Epicyclic Gearing.
DANIEL THOMAS WESTON No. 4 Grove Street Stockton on Tees, County Durham,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improvements in Epicyclic gearing.
Claim (1) The driving wheel E, and the Central Circular disc F, and the Eccentric G
are Cast together, and revolve together on a Shaft, or Axle. (2) The Central Circular
dise F, and the Eccentric G, and the revolving Shaft H are Cast together. (3) The
Central disc F, and the Eccentric G are Cast together only, and Keyed on to a
revolving driven Shaft H. The driving wheel E in the (2) & (3) Claim is not Cast
on. (4) The disc F forms a revolving Central Bearing for the fixed Circular Rack I,
as shown in Fig. 1 & 2. The (5) the Slot way L is connected to a Cross Bar- or
Stud to prevent it revolving on its own Axis. (6) The rotating wheel K has a
Chambered or Toothed Gear wheel Cast on to communicate the motion. Applicable
for Pulley Blocks, and roller wringing and washing machines, and other appliances.
Dated this 28th day of September 1887.

Improvements in Epicyclic Gearing.
DANIEL THOMAS WESTON 4 Grove Street Stockton on Tees, County Durham,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, and with reference to the drawings accompanying my provisional
Specification:
Improvements in Epicyclic Gearing
Claim (1) The driving wheel E, and the Central Circular disc F, and the Eccentric G
are Cast together and revolve together on a Shaft or axle.
(2) The Central Circular disc F, and the Eccentric G, and the Revolving Shaft H
are Cast together.
(3) The Central disc F, and the Eccentric G are Cast together only, and keyed on
to the Shaft H.
(4) The Central Circular disc F forms a Central Bearing for the Circular Rack I.
(5) The slot way L is to connect to a Cross Bar or Frame to prevent the Circular
rack revolving.
(6) The rotating wheel K, has a Chambered or toothed wheel Cast on to communicate
the motion.
(7) The Slot way L is not Cast on the Circular Rack I.
(8) A Band Brake is used round the rim of the Circular Rack I to prevent it
revolving.
(9) The Brake to be actuated by a lever or Spring. The wheel J on the eccentric G
gears with the Circular rack I and the internal wheel K: Applicable for Hoists etc.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what mannor the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
(1) New and an Improved Method in applying and Connecting Circular Rack
gearing on its own Central Axis.
(2) quick return and running out motion by applying a Band Brake.
The disc. forms an automatic frictional Brake action.
