Abstract

1394837 Steering gear ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL CORP 26 Sept 1972 [17 Nov 1971] 27295/74 Divided out of 1394836 Heading B7V [Also in Division F2] The subject-matter is the same as that of the parent Specification 1,394,836 in which a Bowden type remote cable control, e.g. for a marine steering system for steering the drive assembly of an inboard-outboard propulsion system (Fig. 6) includes a pair of cable cores 24 separately woundaround driving and driven drums 20,22 and carried in a flexible double conduit 10 extending between input and output support brackets 12, 14 and having at its ends screwed terminal anchor blocks 32, axially slidable but non- rotatably carried in the brackets 12, 14, engaged by tensioning nuts 40 rotation of which adjusts the tension in the cable cores 24, but the claims are directed to the variable torque output linkwork mechanism of Fig. 6. As shown the output support bracket 14 is mounted to a transom 94 of a boat, a conventional stern drive motor 96 driving a marine propulsion unit 98 pivotally mounted to the transom. The driven cable drum 22 mounted in bracket 14 has an output shaft 23 carrying a pinion 100 meshing a gear 102 which is mounted on the transom 94 and is fast with a short crank arm 104 connected by a rod 108 to a longer tiller arm 106 which passes through the transom and is connected to the propulsion unit 98. The arrangement is such that torque transmitted from the crank arm 104 is amplified at the tiller arm 106 as the crank arm 104 moves from its minimum torque transmitting central position shown in full to its maximum torque transmitting positions shown in phantom lines approximately 90 degrees either side of the central position.
