Definitions

  • a rotary motion-transmitting device in form of a rotary member of circular outline having an axis of rotation and further having a peripheral face and an axial end face extending transversely of the peripheral face.
  • the axial end face is provided with an annulus of gear teeth which surrounds the axis of rotation inwardly of the peripheral face.
  • the present invention relates to a motion-transmitting device. More particularly, the invention relates to a rotary motion-transmitting device. Still more specifically, the present invention relates to a rotary motion-transmitting device which has particular utility in conjunction with toy assembly kits.
  • Rotary motion-transmitting devices for general use and particularly for use in toy assembly kits, are well known. Generally, however, they suffer from a certain lack of versatility which in turn adversely affects the overall versatility of the entire assembly kit. In other words, the kit cannot be used for constructing as great a variety of machines, devices, vehicles and the like as might be desirable, and as would otherwise be possible, and therefore the kit presents less of a challenge to the mind of the child using it than would be the case if the versatility were increased by reason of increased versatility of the motiontransmitting device applied with the kit.
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages outlined above with respect to conventional rotary motiontransmitting devices and provides the improvements which have been outlined as desirable.
  • the present invention provides a rotary motion-transmitting device which is highly versatile in its construction of motion-transmitting arrangements.
  • the present invention further provides such a rotary motion-transmitting device which is simple and which is inexpensive in the extreme to manufacture, thus making possible its sale at low cost which is of importance in the manufacture and sale of toys, and furthermore which requires relatively little manipulative skill of the child using it in a toy kit.
  • a rotary motion-transmitting device which comprises a rotary element having an axis of rotation and being provided with a periphal face and with an axial end face.
  • annulus of gear teeth which surround the axis of rotation.
  • the annulus of gear teeth is located inwardly of the peripheral face of the rotary element.
  • FIG. 1 is a partly sectioned side-elevational view of rotary motion-transmitting device in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top-plan view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
  • the rotary motion-transmitting device shown there is generally indicated with reference numeral 1 and has a peripheral face which carries a radial extending flange 10.
  • the device 1 is provided with an axially extending through-going opening through which a shaft 2 may be placed and it comprises on an axial end face 3, which extends transversely of the peripheral face on which the flange 10 is provided, a tubular axial projection 11 which surrounds the axial opening through which the shaft 2 passes.
  • the shaft 2 passes, as is clearly evident in FIG. 1, not only through the axial opening of the device 1, but also through the axial projection 11 thereof.
  • FIG. 2 shows that this axial projection 11 is provided with a plurality of axially extending slots, which are not numbered but clearly evident in FIG. 2. The reason for this is to make the projection 11 be more readily compressible in radial direction.
  • the projection 11 is externally screw-threaded, as indicated with reference numeral 12, and it is evident from FIG. 1 that it tapers conically in the direction away from the axial end face 3.
  • Nut 6, whose inner bore has a complementary taper and complementary screw threads which can mesh with the screw threads 12 on the projection 11, is threaded onto the latter and, as it is rotated in the direction tending to thread it further onto the projection 11, it compresses the same by virtue of the fact that the slots are provided in the projection 11.
  • the sections of the projection 11 which are created by the provision of the slots, namely in the embodiment of FIGS.
  • the device 1 can now transmit power to or receive power from the shaft 2, the word power here being used in the sense of rotary motion.
  • FIG. 1 shows particularly clearly that the axial end face 3 is provided inwardly of the peripheral surface and, furthermore, inwardly of the radial extending flange 10 thereon, with an axially extending annular recess 4 from Whose bottom wall portion a plurality of gear teeth 8 extend upwardly in the direction toward the general plane of the axial end face 3.
  • the tips of the teeth 8 extend flush with the surface of the axial end face 3, that is not to have them project therebeyond an axial direction, although this is not to be entirely precluded as a possibility.
  • a gear wheel having an axis of rotation extending normal to the axis of rotation A--A of the device 1 can be brought into mesh with the teeth 8 of the annulus 5 of such teeth.
  • power can be transmitted to such a gear wheel, or the gear wheel can transmit power to the device 1, the Word power again indicating rotary motion.
  • the engagement between the teeth 8 of the annulus 5 and the teeth of such auxiliary gear wheel is facilitated by having the width of the teeth 8 taper in the direction towards the axis of rotation of the device 1, as is clearly shown in FIG. 2.
  • each tooth 8 converges in the direction toward the axis of rotation so that the spaces 9 intermediate any tWo adjacent teeth 8 are of identical width as seen in circumferential direction, such width being furthermore constant for the entire length of the teeth 8 as seen in radial direction.
  • gear teeth 7 which are angularly spaced thereabout, this being clearly evident from FIGS. 1 and 2, and that these gear teeth 7 can of course also be brought into mesh with cooperating gear teeth of another gear wheel besides the one mentioned before. Furthermore, these gear teeth 7 serve an auxiliary purpose, namely they provide the effect of knurling, that is they provide increased frictional assistance to the fingers of an operator, for instance a child who tightens the nut 6 by hand.
  • a rotary motion-transmitting device comprising a rotary element having an axis of rotation and being provided with a peripheral face and with an axial end face extending transversely of said peripheral face and being formed with an annular recess surrounding said axis of rotation inwardly of said peripheral face; and an annulus of gear teeth provided on said axial end face located in said annular recess.
  • said rotary element having an axial opening coincident with said axis of rotation and adapted to receive a rotary shaft; and clamping means provided on said rotary element for clampingly engaging said shaft so as to secure said element thereon non-rotatably relative to said shaft.
  • said clamping means comprises a tubular axial projection of resilient material surrounding said opening and adapted to receive said shaft, said projection being axially slotted and compressing rneans cooperating with said projection for radially compressing the same into engagement with a shaft extending therethrough.
  • a rotary motion-transmitting device comprising a rotary element having an axis of rotation and being provided with a peripheral face and with an axial end face extending transversely of said peripheral face, said axial end face being formed with an annular recess; and an annulus of gear teeth provided on said axial end face located in said annular recess, said gear teeth having tips which are flush with said axial end face.
