Description: |
| "My invention relates to a novel manner of attaching band and fly wheels to a driving-shaft, whereby they are adapted to release themselves in the event of a sudden stoppage of the machinery driven by said shaft, and of the shaft itself, consequent upon such stoppage of the machinery, for the purpose of relieving the shaft of the driving force and momentum of said wheels and permitting them to expend their momentum without danger of injury to the other parts; and it consists in uniting said wheels, either or both, to their shaft by means of friction-gibs, which in the event of a sudden stoppage of the actuated mechanism serve to release said wheels from the shaft, allowing the latter to stop while the wheels continue to revolve..." |
