i aa'aeaa To e lrvkorntma y camera" 1 "Be it known that T CECIL E. LLOYD, a ci of e .Uni' edfitat e," r iding at Pensacola in'the county of Escambia and State of Florida,- have invented new anduseful Improvements in Mechanisms for Transmitting Power,-- of which the following is a specification. r

T is nve tion rel et mechani m-1 for A power and is designed particularly for transmitting the power of an internal combustion engine to one or more Pump a One of the main objects of the invent ons to Pr e mee a m f r t ansmitti g power, hi h. m a ism may be q ick y and easily associated with an internal combus n g e Wi hout requir g any n1o ifica on of th e g ne he ame t e Oh mi i g a s rong, du a l -and e ie ent for the purpose stated. a i

With the above and other hj eetsi-f view, he in nti consi ts n he n v lconstr e tion, c m ina ion and rrang men of p rts, e e n desc i ed, illustrated and cla med.-

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation parabrok s away showing the motion. transmitting mechanism in its-applied relation to an: in-i t ernal combustion engine and a plurality of D ml 1 Fig; 2. is a fragmentary plan View of thesame on an enlarged scale.-

T ig. 3 of a pare niemi- Fig.4 is a side elevation of onev of the gears with the adjacentcrank pin member detached; I e V The mechanism for transmitting power comprises in the. preferred embodiment thereof a gear frame of sectional formation comprising the sections 1 and 2. The section 1 is arranged to abut directlyagainst one of the end walls of the base or frame 3 013 he po er transmi ing mec ia of an internal combustion engine as shown" in Fig. '1, said section 1 beingformed with attaching ears 4 receiv ng fasten ng means 5 by which said section is fixedly secured to the engine.

The countershaft 9 passes through all of the bearing sleeves 8 and 12 and carries at one end a large gear 13 which meshes with a gear 14 on the engine shaft 10. On the opposite end of the countershaft 9 there is a smaller gear 15 which meshes with a relatively large gear 16 on a pump operating shaft 17 which is journa'led in a bearing s e ve .18 on he prm ting end f th sec-i tion 2 of the gear frame. a The section f the frameis additionally supported by means of an upright 19 having a base flange 20 which rests upon a supporti-ng stand 21 and is securedthereto by fast elling means 2. .9 T e supporting'stand- 21 al o forms av support for the ngine as shown in Fig, ena ling th engine o he lQcated at ai'sufiicicntly high elevation to handle the pump or e edt t itsfupper en e p ig support 19 issecured fixedly to the section 2 ofthe gear fr m y fa e ing. m ns 23,

Extending from the bearing members 27 and'fixedly secured thereto are connecting rods 28; the opposite ends of which are inserted through openings 29 in the oppositeends of head 30. The rods 28 are held in any ad j usted position in the openings 29 by set screws 31.
