Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to that class of traction-engines in which the traction-wheels are driven from the crankshaft of the steam-engine through the medium of a train of gear-wheels of which the driving-pinion on the crankshaft can be shifted, so that it may either be thrown in gear with the next wheel or disconnected therefrom, according as the steam-engine is to be used for propelling the machine or for driving other machinery. Our invention consists, mainly, in fitting a part of the said pinion in a guide, one or more on the fly-wheel, which guides also serve as clutch-teeth for driving the pinion, so that the usual driving-spline on the crankshaft may be dispensed with.
Claim:
The combination, substantially as before set forth, of the flywheel constructed with a ring-flange, and with guide-ribs on the interior side of said flange, and the shifting-pinion constructed with wings which are engaged by said guide-ribs. |
