Abstract
A gear shroud arrangement includes a mounting plate defining an aperture therethrough. A first cylindrical shroud is included having a first end and an opposed second end, wherein the first end of the first shroud is connected to an outer periphery of the mounting plate and is aligned with the aperture. A backing plate is mounted to the second end of the first shroud. A second cylindrical shroud extends from the backing plate in a direction opposite the first shroud.
Claims14
A gear shroud arrangement comprising:
- a mounting plate defining an aperture therethrough;
- a first cylindrical shroud having a first end and an opposed second end, wherein the first end of the first cylindrical shroud is connected to an outer periphery of the mounting plate and is aligned with the aperture;
- a backing plate mounted to the second end of the first cylindrical shroud;
- and
- a second cylindrical shroud extending from the backing plate in a direction opposite the first cylindrical shroud, wherein the first cylindrical shroud extends clockwise from a first position between a 12 o'clock position and a 1 o'clock position as viewed toward the mounting plate and a 6 o'clock position relative to the 12 o'clock position, wherein the second cylindrical shroud extends clockwise from the 12 o'clock position as viewed toward the mounting plate and a position between a 3 o'clock position and a 4 o'clock position relative to the 12 o'clock position.

A gear shroud arrangement comprising:
- a mounting plate defining an aperture therethrough;
- a first cylindrical shroud having a first end and an opposed second end, wherein the first end of the first cylindrical shroud is connected to an outer periphery of the mounting plate and is aligned with the aperture;
- a backing plate mounted to the second end of the first cylindrical shroud;
- and
- a second cylindrical shroud extending from the backing plate in a direction opposite the first cylindrical shroud, wherein the second cylindrical shroud includes a first step and a second step extending further from the backing plate than the first step, wherein the first and second steps meet at a position between the 12 o'clock position and a 1 o'clock position relative to the 12 o'clock position, wherein the second step extends clock-wise from the first step, wherein a mounting flange with a fastener aperture extends from the second cylindrical shroud where the first and second steps meet.
