Patent number: 6931954Abstract: A power transmission device includes a pair of gear assemblies and an idle. Each of the gear assemblies includes a first gear having continuous external teeth on a peripheral wall and a second gear having continuous external teeth on a peripheral wall. The first gear and second gear are arranged to form a one-way clutch. When the first gear rotates in one direction relative to the second gear, the first gear is not connected to the second gear. When the first gear rotates in the other direction relative to the second gear, the first gear is connected to the second gear. The external teeth of the first gears in the gear assemblies engage each other, and the external teeth of the second gears in the gear assemblies engage the idle gear. One direction output at the second gear is obtained regardless of an input direction at the first gear.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Nifco Inc.Inventor: Naoto Jinbo

Patent number: 6626751Abstract: The present invention provides a compact transmission assembly for use in a coin storage and dispensing apparatus. The transmission assembly can connect the rotational output of a reversible electrical motor to a link unit that supports a switching gear unit. A helical gear unit can be mounted adjacent to the link unit and can be driven axially along a shaft to contact a mounting unit to receive a thrust force and to drive the link unit in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction depending upon the rotation of the reversible motor. The switching gear unit is radially mounted at an offset position on the link unit and can appropriately contact output gears connected to output shafts for providing a selective dual power output.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2000Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Asahi Seiko Co., LTDInventor: Masayoshi Umeda

Patent number: 6609440Abstract: A structure of a variable transmission device includes an input shaft driven by a motor to perform alternate rotation having a gear on a middle portion, an output shaft having a pair of gears secured to the upper and lower ends respectively and a speed changing shaft positioned between the input and output shaft having a pair of gears rotatably secured to two ends respectively meshed with the gears of the output shaft and a spiral outer periphery on a middle portion rotatably and slidably engaged with an inner threaded gear which meshes with the teeth of the gear of the input shaft. Thereby, the rotation of the input shaft drives the inner threaded gear to rotatably slide about the spiral outer periphery to force the gears of the speed changing shaft to rotate and in turn to drive the gears of the output shaft to rotate in concert with the input shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2002Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Inventor: Chu-Wen Chu

Patent number: 6523437Abstract: A device (1), particularly a facsimile apparatus, has a reversible motor (26), an intermediate transmission gear (29) which is drivable by the motor (26), and three drive wheels (44, 48, 51) which are drivable with the aid of the intermediate transmission gear (29). The intermediate transmission gear (29) includes a basic member (30) which is drivable by the motor (26), a control member (36), and a drive member (37). A first unidirectional coupling of the basic member (30) and the control member (36), and a second unidirectional coupling of the basic member (30) and the drive member (37) are constructed to transmit power in opposite directions of rotation (31, 32). The control member (36) is adapted to selectively establish a drive transmission between the motor (26) and at least one drive wheel (44, 48, 51), and the drive member (37) is adapted to drive the drive wheels (44, 48, 51).Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2000Date of Patent: February 25, 2003Assignee: Sagem SAInventor: Christoph Potakowskyj

Patent number: 6353957Abstract: A gearbox arrangement couples an input shaft to an output shaft whereby the output shaft is driven by the input shaft in a constant rotational direction but at two different rotational speeds depending upon the particular direction of rotation of an input shaft for a given rotational speed of the input shaft. The input shaft has an input gear integral therewith and the output shaft has an output gear integral therewith. A first unidirectional clutch couples the input shaft with the output shaft such that rotation of the input shaft in a first input direction at a first input speed rotates the output shaft in a first output direction at a first output speed, but rotation of the input shaft in a second, opposite input direction causes the first unidirectional clutch to slip. An idler gear meshes with and is driven by the input gear. An intermediate shaft has a first intermediate gear integral therewith. The first intermediate gear is meshed with and driven by the idler gear.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1999Date of Patent: March 12, 2002Assignee: Pioneer Eclipse CorporationInventors: Jack Bruce Wolfe, Derrick Lee Hamm, Mike Travers Chappell
