Abstract
A system is disclosed for a chain drive assembly. The system includes a first driving sprocket coupled with a crankshaft of the motor; and a second driving sprocket coupled with the crankshaft and positioned adjacent the first driving sprocket. The system also includes a first driven sprocket coupled with a first peripheral device, and a second driven sprocket coupled with a second peripheral device. In one embodiment, the system includes a first chain mechanically coupling the first driving sprocket and the first driven sprocket, and a second chain mechanically coupling the second driving sprocket with the second driven sprocket.
Claims20
An external drive assembly for a motor comprising:
- a driving sprocket coupled with a driveshaft of the motor;
- at least one driven sprocket coupled with a peripheral device;
- and
- a chain mechanically coupling the driving sprocket and the at least one driven sprocket.
A system for an external drive assembly of a motor, the system comprising:
- a first driving sprocket coupled with a crankshaft of the motor;
- a second driving sprocket coupled with the crankshaft and positioned adjacent the first driving sprocket;
- at least a first driven sprocket coupled with a first peripheral device;
- at least a second driven sprocket coupled with a second peripheral device;
- a first chain mechanically coupling the first driving sprocket and the at least first driven sprocket;
- and
- a second chain mechanically coupling the second driving sprocket with the at least second driven sprocket.
A system comprising:
- an internal combustion motor having an external drive assembly configured for providing a driving force to a plurality of peripheral devices via a crankshaft, where the external drive assembly comprises:
- a first driving sprocket coupled with a crankshaft of the motor, a second driving sprocket coupled with the crankshaft and positioned adjacent the first driving sprocket at a distance from the motor greater than a distance between the first driving sprocket and the motor,
- at least a first driven sprocket coupled with a first peripheral device of the plurality of peripheral devices,
- at least a second driven sprocket coupled with a second peripheral device of the plurality of peripheral devices,
- a first chain mechanically coupling the first driving sprocket and the at least first driven sprocket, and
- a second chain mechanically coupling the second driving sprocket with the at least second driven sprocket.
