Abstract
A device for terminating the rotary movement of a driven shaft following an adjustable predetermined number of revolutions, with one or more switch disks arranged coaxially adjacent and provided with notches of their outer circumference, said disks being driveable by the shaft, with a plurality of switch disks with different rotational speeds, and with a switch arm resting on the outer circumference of the switch disk(s), said arm dropping into the notch and/or (in the case of a plurality of switch disks) notches, when the latter correspond in their angular position, thus shutting off the drive to the shaft.
Claims7
In a device for terminating the rotary movement of a driven shaft after an adjustable predetermined number of revolutions, said device comprising a first switch disk disposed coaxially adjacent a second switch disk, said first and second disks defining respectively notches on their outer circumferences, switch arm means movably mounted adjacent said disks for sensing when said notches are in a corresponding angular position, and means responsive to said sensing means for terminating the rotary movement of said driven shaft,
- planet carriers for rotatably mounting said first and second disks for coaxial rotation,
- said first and second disks defining respective annular openings in the central portion of said disks, said annular openings having different numbers of gear teeth thereon, drive means including an elongated central gear means extending coaxially through said annular openings of said first and second disks and adapted to be rotatably driven by said driven shaft;
- a first planet gear means connecting said elongated central gear means to said gear teeth on said annular opening to said first disk;
- a second planet gear means connecting said elongated central gear means to said gear teeth on the annular opening of said second disk;
- and
- said planet carriers comprising means for rotatably mounting said first and second planet gear means thereto, being connected non-rotatably together and each rotatably supporting a said disk on the outer circumference thereof.
