Description: |
| Abstract:
The invention relates to the means for propelling the traction-engine forward or backward, and for throwing the pawls into or out of engagement with the engine-shaft and main drive-wheel axle or traction-wheels; and it consists in the combination, with the driving-gear and traction-wheels, of a novel arrangement of pawls and of cams for actuating the same placed under the control of the driver in his seat on the machine, whereby the engine or machine can be propelled in either direction without changing the direction of rotation of the engine-shaft, and whereby, also, the traction-wheels can, either or both, be connected with or disconnected from the main axle, so as either to be driven thereby or to rotate loosely thereon, as may be desired.
Claim:
The bevel-wheels on the engine-shaft, provided with the notched or recessed hubs, in combination with the disks or pawl-carriers, and the pawls arranged and operating in connection therewith, substantially as described, for engaging the bevel-wheels with the engine-shaft. |
