  • KEY PULLEY SEGMENT FEATURES, SEGMENT STACK CONFIGURATION, AND CAM AND ROLLER DESIGN AND ACTUATION IN A SYNCHRONIZED SEGMENTALLY INTERCHANGING PULLEY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160169363
    Abstract: A key pulley segment in a synchronized, segmentally interchanging pulley transmission system is either first or last in a pulley segment set to engage an endless member. The first or last key segment teeth to engage or disengage, respectively, are shortened or completely trimmed, and the adjacent pulley segment to the key segment is elongated such that the inward portion of the tooth profile extends toward the key segment. Shortened tooth or teeth and an elongated adjacent segment together allow for many pulley segments to be designed as key segments. Completely trimmed teeth may be engineered to create a supporting surface for the endless member on the key segment. The elongated adjacent segment may have an extending portion which slidably mates with the supporting surface of the key segment, thereby receiving radial support therefrom.
