~.~. MACHINE 18205hawson Dr., Unit 148. 15 Tel: (905) 564-1362 TOOL INC. Mississau~a, Ontario Fax: (905) 564-2934 L4W 1 R7 CANADA email: Ltmach~aol.com Title Of Invention RATCHETING GEAR BOX
Field of Invention This invention relates to gearboxes, being apparatus to convert torque from an input device, such as electric or internal combustion motors etc. to drive devices such as conveyors, vehicles etc.
Background of the invention Torque and horsepower are the crucial forces required for movement. Gearboxes are used to transmit power from a driving force to a desired force. Conventional gearbox designs usually use planetary drives that have one sun gear and one or more multiple orbital gears that mesh together. These planetary drives convert a higher speed, low torque input into a lower speed, high torque output. The disadvantage of conventional gearboxes is they lose torque due to the losses associated with friction. The power gearbox is designed to minimize losses and dramatically increase the output torque and horsepower as compared to the driving force.
Summary of the Invention The present invention uses very simple principles coupled with the natural forces of gravity to increase the force from input. A floating gear that has no physical center shaft transmits its weight to a continuous ratcheting output assembly. Results of the floating gear and continuous ratcheting gears are increasing torque and horsepower at the output.
According to the invention, there is provided a gearbox comprising of a gearbox housing to enclose all gear components. A horizontal input shaft protrudes through the housing to connect to a driving force. A drive sprocket or other means is attached to the internal end of the horizontal drive shaft. A drive chain or other means is used as a conveying median between the drive sprocket and the floating gear. The floating gear is comprised of both a driven sprocket and bearing teeth. Two idler free turning wheels are strategically placed at approximately 120° and 250° from the floating gear center.
These idler wheels and a third retaining wheel at the top are supporting and holding the floating gear firmly in place. An actuator gear is positioned directly under the floating gear and it meshes with the floating gear bearing teeth. Spring loaded actuator pins are mounted internal to the actuator gear. The downward force from the floating wheel causes the pins to transmit a downward force to a spring load rod. The push rod is mounted on a pivot and the other end drives a continuous ratcheting gear. The continuous ratcheting gear is supported on a horizontal output shaft, which protrudes through the gear casing and is used as the final drive output. The continuous force applied by the floating wheel to the ratcheting assembly overcomes the losses in the system and increases the input force on the output shaft. Floating wheels and continuous ratcheting assemblies are mounting in the same housing.
Drawing Description Drawing 1 - front view of the gear box Drawing 2- side view of the gear box Drawing 3 - side view of the continuous ratcheting system Description of the Device 1 ) Part I consists of a gearbox housing ( 10). The housing ( 10) contains all the gearbox components. It has a horizontal input shaft (23) that extends through the case and acts as the primary connection for the driving force. It also has a horizontal output shaft (24) that acts as the secondary connection for the increased output force to a driven element.

It also has a horizontal output shaft (24) that acts as the secondary connection for the increased output force to a driven element.
2) Part II consists of a floating gear (13). The floating gear (13) is comprised of driven teeth (25) and bearing teeth (22). It has no physical center shaft and is only supported by two idler wheels (14)(15). A retaining wheel (16) keeps the floating gear in place and still allows the wheel to move freely and "float". Idler wheel (15) is mounted at approximately 120° from the floating wheel center and Idler wheel (15) is mounted at approximately 250°. The floating gear is driven by drive chain ( 12) around driven teeth (25) and drive sprocket ( 11 ). Drive sprocket ( 11 ) is connected to horizontal input shaft (23). A chain is listed as the driving median but any suitable median such as belts etc. could be used.
3) Part III is the continuous ratcheting output system and consists of an actuator gear ( 17). The actuator gear ( 17) is positioned under and meshes with floating gear (13). Actuator pins (18) are internal to the actuator gear (17) and protrude upward through the actuator gear (17), between the teeth. A push rod (19) is mounted to a pivot (21 ). One end of the push rod has a shoulder (26) to position it in the center of the actuator gear (17). The actuator pins (18) are pushed down to provide a downward force to the push rod ( 19) when the bearing teeth (22) are touching the top of the pin (18). T'he other end of the push rod (19) is in contact with a continuous ratcheting gear (20). The upward force created by push rod ( 19) causes the continuous ratcheting gear (20) to move. When push rod (19) reaches it's maximum height the actuator pin (18) will come off the shoulder (26) allowing the push rod (19) to retract to its original position. The diameter of the floating gear ( 13 ) and the positioning of the actuator gear ( 17) are designed to apply the full downward weight of the floating gear (13) on the actuator pins (18).
This is minimizing the force exerted on the horizontal drive shaft (23).
This is minimizing the force exerted on the horizontal drive shaft (23).
4) Part IV consists of a second floating gear (13A). Floating gear (13A) is comprised of driven teeth (25A) and bearing teeth (22A). It has no physical center shaft and is only supported by two idler wheels (14A)(15A). A retaining wheel (16A) keeps the floating gear in place and still allows the wheel to move freely and "float".
Idler wheel ( 1 SA) is mounted at approximately 120° from the floating wheel center and Idler wheel (14A) is mounted at approximately 250°. The floating gear is driven by drive chain (12A) around driven sprocket (25A) and drive sprocket (1 lA). Drive sprocket (1 lA) is connected to horizontal input shaft (23).
s~ Part V is the second continuous ratcheting output system and consists of an actuator gear (17A). The actuator gear (17A) is positioned under and meshes with floating gear ( 13 A). Actuator pins ( 18A) are internal to the actuator gear ( 17A) and protrude upward through the actuator gear ( 17A), between the teeth. A
push rod (19A) is mounted to a pivot (21A). One end of the push rod has a shoulder (26A) to position it in the center of the actuator gear ( 17A). The actuator pins ( 18A) are pushed down to provide a downward force to on the push rod ( 19A) when the bearing teeth (22A) are touching the pins (18). The other end of the push rod (19A) is in contact with a continuous ratcheting gear (20A). The upward force created by push rod ( 19A) causes the continuous ratcheting gear (20A) to move.
When push rod (19A) reaches it's maximum height the actuator pin (18A) will come off the shoulder (26A) allowing the push rod ( 19A) to retract to its original position. The diameter of the floating gear (13A) and the positioning of the actuator gear (17A) are designed to apply the full downward weight of the floating gear ( 13 A) on the actuator pins ( 18A) before the actuator pins ( 18A) are rotated to the centerline of the push rod ( 19A). This minimizes the force exerted on the horizontal drive shaft (23).
s> The operation of the two floating gears ( 13 )( 13A) and two continuous ratcheting systems are identical. The continuous ratchetin~sprockets (20)(20A) are _ _ positioned slightly out of phase from each other and the pushrod ( 19)( 19A) timing is adjusted through actuator sprockets ( 17)( 17A). One pushrod ( 19) or ( 19A) is always in the original position and one is always in motion.
y One set of floating gears (13)(13A) and continuous ratcheting sprockets (20)(20A) is adequate, however, more can be added if desired to increase the speed and power.
