Abstract: A motion transmitting device comprising four basic elements, namely, eccentric means, meshing means in the form of a series of individually movable meshing elements, wheel means formed with portions complementary to the meshing elements, and movement-limiting means. The eccentric means is disposed to cause the meshing elements to sequentially wobble (or generally move) in-and-out of meshing engagement with the complementary portions, while the meshing elements are individually guided within specifc limits of wobbling motion (or, generally, motion) by the movement-limiting means.In one embodiment, the wheel means is conveniently a toothed gear wheel, which meshes with a special form of transmission chain whose pins provide the meshing elements and which may conveniently extend to provide part of the movement-limiting means, the other part thereof comprising apertures in a datum member which define the limits of the movement of the pins.
