Abstract: An inexpensive pulley assembly is disclosed which accommodates a number of driving belts. The pulley includes a hub and a number of sheet metal members. These sheet metal members includes bases for attachment to the hub, inner flanges, sleeves flaring axially away from the inner flanges, and outer flanges. When the sheet metal members are assembled on the hub in an appropriately aligned and opposed array, the opposed, facing flanges form the belt-accommodating pulley assembly. The sheet metal members are rigidly attached to the hub by brazing and staking.

Abstract: A pulley is disclosed which comprises a hub, a firmly resilient collar affixed to the hub, and first and second annular sheet metal members surrounding the collar. The first annular sheet metal member has an outwardly flared margin and bushing portion which engages the collar outer surface with an axially extending press fit. The second annular sheet metal member has an outwardly flared margin adapted to oppose the first sheet metal member margin so as to form a groove for accommodating a belt. A bi-ended sleeve extends from this second member margin and is adapted to engage the first member bushing with an extended, nesting fit. A groove section is formed at the free sleeve end for accommodating a second belt. A radially inwardly extending free bushing end is adapted to engage a groove in the collar to further assist in securing the first sheet metal member to the collar.
