Description: |
| A. J. Sangster - patent attorney
The invention relates generally to improvements in variable speed countershafts, and more particularly to a structure in which the power from the .driving element is transmitted to the driven element through a plurality of simultaneously, controlled friction elements. The main object of the present invention is the provision of a variable speed countershaft embodying duplicate simultaneously operated friction disks, the movement of the friction disks with relation to the adjacent disks cooperating therewith inducing the desired variation in speed and being manually controlled through a simple, effective mechanism. A further object is the provision of means for manually controlling the cooperation of the driving friction disk with the adjacent friction disk, whereby to readily govern the starting and stopping of the variable speed mechanism.
What is claimed is:
1. A variable speed counter-shaft including a driving shaft, a friction disk carried thereby, a driven shaft, a friction disk carried thereby, friction mechanism arranged intermediate the respective friction disks, means for normally setting the driven shaft to maintain contact between the friction mechanism and friction disk carried by said shaft, and manually operable means for adjusting the driving shaft to control the cooperation of its friction disk and the friction mechanism.
2. An adjusting means for controlling the cooperation of clutch elements of a variable speed counter-shaft, including a driving shaft, a lever pivoted beyond the shaft, projections carried by the shaft between which the lever is located, a fixture, a rod having threaded connection with said fixture and bearing against the lever, and means for turning the rod.
