Patent ID: 8303450

Claim:
An eccentric dual stepping gear roller bearing system comprising: a. an eccentric input drive shaft, b. an output shaft, c. a gear ring with a portal sized to accommodate the output shaft and an affixed output gear defining a cylindrical interior to accommodate the output gear and a stepping gear, including peripheral structure to hold around the cylindrical interior a circular exterior row of a plurality of roller bearings in fixed equidistant positions with exposed roller surfaces surrounding the shaft portal, d. an output gear attached to the output shaft is positioned to fit and rotate within the gear ring interior with structure defining a cylindrical interior of lesser diameter than that of the exterior row of the gear ring adapted to hold a circular interior row of a plurality of roller bearings in fixed equidistance circular positions around the output gear interior at a different plane relative to the exterior row of roller bearings; the number and diameter of the interior row of roller bearings less than the number and diameter of exterior row of roller bearings, e. an eccentric stepping gear with exterior and interior stepping gears having different diameters with differing numbers of gear teeth structured to accommodate roller bearings joined off-center on top of one another and eccentrically attached at a selected throw to the eccentric input drive shaft to position the exterior and interior eccentric stepping gears within the cylindrical interior of the gear ring so that the exterior stepping gear teeth contact and push against the exterior row of roller bearings in a stepping motion causing the joined interior stepping gear teeth to push against and move the interior row of ball bearings in a stepping motion to rotate the output gear at a reduced output gear ratio, and f. encasement structure with portals to accommodate the eccentric input drive shaft and output drive shaft leading into an interior structured to position and operably secure within the interior the eccentric stepping gear, the gear ring, and output gear operably associated with the eccentric drive shaft and output drive shaft to effectuate gear reduction.
