  • Adaptor for power transmission in a pulley and shaft
    Patent number: 6176797
    Abstract: An adaptor for power transmission in a pulley and shaft. Two adaptor portions are disposed on opposite sides of the pulley and drawn axially together to capture the pulley therebetween. At least one of the adaptor portions is attached to a quick disconnect bushing on the shaft. A connecting member is tightened to draw the adaptor portions and the bushing together. Preferably, the bushing is tapered and the adaptor portions are correspondingly tapered, providing a radially directed force. The adaptor portions are particularly suited for use with a pulley that is substantially formed of plastic.
