Patent ID: 7544144

Claim:
A process for utilizing a variable orbiting gear driven disk gear to drive a core gear and high and low speed output shafts in a drive arrangement having an input shaft, an input receiving gear, an orbital drive gear, a repositionable orbital drive gear orbital drive shaft, a repositionable variable orbital disk gear, a repositionable variable orbital driver arm, said core gear, a planetary gear set including sun and planet gears, said high speed and low speed output shafts, a central axis defined by the input and low speed output shafts, a universally positionable connecting linkage, the process comprising the steps of: revolving said orbital drive gear and said repositionable variable orbital driver arm around said rotating repositionable variable orbital disk gear through said input receiving gear, said orbital drive gear, and said repositionable orbital drive gear orbital drive shaft; rotating said core gear and said high speed and low speed output shafts through the rotating said repositionable variable orbital driver arm; translating rotation of said repositionable variable orbital disk gear to drive said planetary gear set sun gear through said universally positionable connecting linkage; translating said sun gear rotation to concurrently rotate said core gear through said planetary gear set planet gears; and continuously changing the rotation speeds of said core gear, said high speed and low speed output shafts between predetermined minimum and maximum speeds with repositioning of said repositionable variable orbital disk gear relative to said central axis.
