Abstract
A drive transmission has a rotary drive input member that is inclined with respect to its axis of rotation and that is driven by a motor. A first gear is mounted on the drive input member and engages with a rotatable second gear and a fixed third gear. Rotation of the drive input member causes the first gear to rock while the second gear provides a rotary drive output for the drive transmission.
