| Abstract:
My invention relates t0 means for controlling the operation of speed varying transmission. It is particularly applicable to that type of speed varying transmission commercially known as the "Reeves" transmission and one of the objects of the invention is to provide means for electrically controlling the operation of said transmission so that the transmission will operate the driven mechanism at different speeds depending upon the requirements.
Claim:
The combination with a variable speed mechanism, of an electric motor for operating said mechanism to cause the same to drive at varying speeds, a switch for controlling the operation of said motor including an arm movable by said electric motor, switch contacts mounted on said arm, a controller arm movably mounted on said first arm, switch contacts mounted on said controller arm arranged to cooperate with the first mentioned switch contacts and means for moving said controller arm to close said switch contacts and maintain said arm in a stationary position during the movement of said first mentioned arm to cause said contacts to move to open position. |
