Abstract

489,628. Driving - arrangements for screw propellers. FLEMING, I. R., and FLEMING, F. E. Jan. 29, 1937, No. 2736 /38. Divided out of 489,624. [Class 114] In boat-propulsion gear wherein the propeller shaft is actuated by manual gear, a casing is provided to carry the bearings for the final bevel pinion drive and the forward and reverse pawl gear thereof, and it is further provided with a removable cover plate opposite the propeller shaft for the attachment of a power drive. A propeller shaft 23 is coupled by a universal joint with a bevel wheel 31 which meshes with the bevel wheel 24 freely mounted upon a transverse shaft 18, the bearing for the shaft and the bevel wheel being carried by a casing 21. The shaft 18 is adapted to be operated by cranks 16 from a number of fore and aft rods which are oscillated by hand levers and when manual propulsion is desired the lever 28 puts the clutch 26, which is keyed on the shaft 18, into engagement with the bevel wheel 24. Upon the shaft is a pawl wheel 34 with which engages ratchets 35 or 36 according to the direction of rotation required. In the hub 25 of the wheel 24 there is a one-way ratchet 27 which functions when the hand-propulsion gear is used for starting up the power machine. On the end cover 38 being removed, a gear-box 41 may be attached and the drive therefrom connected by the bevel wheel 39 with the crown wheel 24. The various control rods 42, 43 of the power plant are led through passages in the casing to the after control cockpit of the boat. Specification 489,624 is referred to.
