Patent ID: 7010995

Claim:
An angle drive comprising a drive housing defining a first axis (A 1 ) and a second axis (A 2 ), said second axis being radially aligned relative to the first axis (A 1 ), the drive housing comprising an outer ring which forms two opposed annular flanges positioned perpendicularly relative to the first axis, and a hub member which is positioned co-axially relative to the outer ring and which, by way of at least one radial spoke, is connected to the outer ring, wherein the hub member forms a bearing region for an input shaft, and the housing forms a sleeve member attached to an outside of the outer ring, and wherein the sleeve member forms a bearing region for an output shaft, and wherein an input ring gear is fixed on the input shaft, and a counter ring gear is directly rotatably supported on said input shaft, and wherein the output shaft carries an output gearwheel which, via its teeth, engages the input ring gear and the counter ring gear, and wherein on at least one bearing journal aligned radially relative to the first axis, there is arranged at least one intermediate gearwheel which, via its teeth, engages the input ring gear and the counter ring gear.
