Abstract

637,022. Locomotive driving-gear. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRICAL INTERNATIONAL CO. Aug. 29, 1947, No. 23949. Convention date, Aug. 30, 1946. [Classes 79 (ii) and 79 (iii)] A locomotive axle gear drive comprises a pair of axles, a flexible gear secured to each axle and comprising a gear hub secured to one axle, a gear rim and resilient means interposed between the hub and the rim, cover plates attached to each flexible gear, gears for driving the axles through the flexible gears, and a gear case enclosing all the gears and supported by the cover plates. As shown applied to a turbine or other prime mover driven locomotive a longitudinal driving shaft 7 carries a bevel gear 8 driving a gear 9 which meshes with gears 14. Each gear 14 meshes with the rim 17 of the flexible gear 13 on one axle 10. The rim of each gear 13 is resiliently connected to the hub 16 by a rubber ring 18 between inner and outer metal rings 19, 20, the ring 19 being pressed on or keyed to the hub 16 and the rim pressed or keyed on the ring 20. The rubber ring 18 may either be a complete circle or may be divided into a plurality of segments as described in Specification 632,753, [Group XXIV]. Alternatively the hub 16 and rim 17 may be connected by other resilient members such as steel springs. Secured to each rim 17 are the cover plates 21 carrying bearings 23. Suitable seals can be provided between the plates and the axles. Mounted on the bearings 23 and thus carried by the flexible gears 13 is the gear case 15. The gear case may be retained in an upright position by links 26 connected to the locomotive frame 12 or by guide members disposed between the gear case and the frame in which the usual axle journal boxes are guided and sprung.
