Abstract
A mechanical transmission device to provide selective gear speed output from a constant input. A variation gear affixed to an adjustable crank determines output speed of a free floating following gear and connecting rod assembly dependent on the relative orbit size of the variation gear as determined by the crank. The orbit size is adjusted by the angular inclination of the adjustable crank.
Claims5
A transmission device for variable speed output from a common source of rotatable power, said transmission device comprising, a output gear on a input shaft driven by said source of rotatable power, a secondary input gear on a main shaft driven by said input gear, a control gear assembly on said main shaft, a variation control drive crank shaft is axially offset and extending from said input gear through said control gear assembly driving same, a variation gear keyed to said crank shaft, a following gear on a free shaft in meshed engagement with said variation gear and an output gear on an output shaft, connecting rods interconnecting said crank shaft adjacent said variation gear, said free shaft and said output shaft, said control gear assembly having a crank positioning element, means for selectively engaging said crank shaft with said crank positioning element, said crank shaft has a angular inclination dependent on said control gear assembly.
A transmission device for variable speed output from a common source of a rotatable power, said transmission device comprising, a input gear on a input shaft driven by said source of a rotational power, a secondary input gear on a main shaft driven by said input gear, a control gear assembly on said main shaft, a following gear on a free shaft meshed with a variation gear and a output gear, said output gear on an output shaft, said variation gear having a central axis initially aligned with said main shaft, means for changing an orbital path of said variation gear's central axis about said initial alignment with said main shaft, connecting rods interconnecting said variation gear, said following gear and said output gear respectively.
