Abstract
Connection of a shaft with an element, in particular the shaft of a rotary setting element with a seating wheel, said connection comprising a recess provided for setting said shaft in said element and an opening by which said recess is connected with the outer edge of the element and through which the connection can be effected by relative movement of the shaft and the element transversely to the axis of said shaft, characterized in that a second element is inserted into the opening in a direction transversely to the axis of the shaft and that interlocking means provided on the first element and the second element cooperate to fix the second element in the opening of the first element.
Claims7
Connection of a shaft with an element, in particular, the shaft of a rotary setting member with a disk-shaped setting wheel, said setting wheel having a recess adapted to receive said shaft of said rotary setting member, said recess being part of an opening by which said recess is connected with the outer edge of the shaft of the rotary setting member and through which the connection can be affected by relative movement of the shaft and the rotary setting member transversely to the axis of said shaft, characterized in that a wedge member is inserted into the opening in a direction transversely to the axis of the shaft, interlocking means are provided on the setting wheel and on the wedge member for fixing the wedge member in the opening of the setting wheel, wherein the interlocking means comprises inwardly extending projections contained within the opening and outwardly extending locking noses on the wedge member.
A disk-shaped setting wheel for connecting a shaft of a rotary setting member, said setting wheel having a hub portion having a recess designed to receive the shaft of the rotary setting member, said recess being part of an opening by which said recess is connected with the outer edge of said shaft and through which connection can be affected by relative movement of the shaft and the setting wheel transversely to the axis of the shaft, characterized in that the setting wheel further includes a wedge member for insertion into the opening in a direction transversely to the axis of the shaft, said setting wheel having interlocking means provided on the hub and the wedge member for fixing the wedge member into the opening of the hub, wherein the interlocking means comprises inwardly extending projections contained within the opening and outwardly extending locking noses on the wedge member.
