Description: |
| Abstract:
In a sawmill construction it is necessary to provide means for driving the log-carriage past the saw first in one direction and then in the other. The object of my invention is to provide a simple mechanism for accomplishing this driving movement, said mechanism consisting of a minimum number of parts and the arrangement being such that the driving action will tend to maintain the parts in either the forward or reverse driving engagement as soon as driving engagement has been established.
Claim:
In a reversing mechanism, the combination, with a pair of main shafts, of a jack-shaft, a permanent driving connection between the first main shaft and the jack-shaft, and a belt-driving connection between the second main shaft and the jack-shaft, a frictional a reversing mechanism, the combination, with a pair of main shafts, of a jack-shaft, a permanent driving connection between the first main shaft and the jack-shaft, and a belt-driving connection between the second main shaft and the jack-shaft, a frictional driving connection between the jack-shaft and the said second main shaft, and means for shifting the jackshaft without destroying the driving connection between the same andi the first main shaft to bring either the belt-drive or the friction-drive into actionable driving connection between the jack-shaft and the said second main shaft, and means for shifting the jackshaft without destroying the driving connection between the same andi the first main shaft to bring either the belt-drive or the friction-drive into action.
