Abstract
Reversing gears for boats, comprising an angle gearing with two gears (4,5) rotatably mounted on a secondary shaft (8) and alternately lockable to the shaft by means of a clutch sleeve (11). The clutch sleeve consists of aluminum and has exterior coupling cones with surfaces (12,13), which are oxidized and impregnated with a fluoroplastic and are heat-treated. The rotatably mounted gears (4,5) have interior coupling cones (14,15) of tempered steel.
Claims2
Transmission device, especially a reversing gear for a marine engine, comprising a first shaft with a first gear non-rotatably fixed to said shaft, a second shaft mounted perpendicular to the first shaft with two second gears freely rotatably mounted on said second shaft, said second gears engaging the first gear and each having an individual interior conical frictional surface, and, between said second gears, a clutch sleeve axially displaceably mounted on the second shaft and having two exterior conical frictional surfaces which face away from each other and which each cooperate with an individual one of said interior frictional surfaces to alternately lock the second gears to the second shaft, characterized in that the clutch sleeve (11) has exterior conical frictional surfaces (12,13) of aluminum, which are oxidized and impregnated with a fluoroplastic and are heat-treated.
