  • Apparatus utilizing planetary gearset coupled to a constant torsion spring
    Patent number: 10760657
    Abstract: A gearbox includes a planetary gearset, an input shaft coupled to a sun gear of the planetary gearset, and an output shaft coupled to planet gears of the planetary gearset via a carrier. A constant torsion spring is coupled to a ring gear of the planetary gearset. The constant torsion spring is capable of preventing the ring gear from moving when a torque at the output shaft is below a threshold. The ring gear winds the constant torsion spring in response to the torque exceeding the threshold.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 1, 2020
    Assignee: Riekor Corporation
    Inventors: Ryan Heiraas, Timothy A. Erhart, John Russell Kingery
