Abstract: An apparatus provided with a planet transmission gear drive with which transmission gear drive stages are constructed built-up and including the hollow-gear or annular gear ring arrangement fixed on the housing and planet carrier support arranged rotatably moveable with the planets. A shaft connected directly with a drive unit has a sun gear fastened thereon to drive the first transmission gear drive stage in order to attain a reduced reversal or return play. The end switch or shifter for drive units further has the last transmission gear drive stage including a hollow-gear or annular gear ring of the first transmission gear drive part arranged rotatable in the housing. The hollow-gear or annular gear ring forming the last transmission gear drive stage is provided with an outer tooth arrangement in which an adjustment worm guided in the housing meshes in engagement.

Abstract: A flexible torque-transmitting element for tying the driven member of a flexible coupling to the driving member thereof includes a body of flexible material (such as rubber, or another elastomer) that has a rim zone. A fabric insert in said body of flexible material projects radially outwardly beyond said rim zone of said body of flexible material and forms a clamping zone situated outside said body of flexible material. Such a torque-transmitting element may be associated with annular clamping means that apply clamping pressure only against the portion of the fabric insert situated outside the body of flexible material.
