  • Patent number: 4327992
    Abstract: A photocopy machine having a drum and associated rollers driven by a flexible drive belt. A first gear train is connected between the drive belt and the drum for driving the drum at a low speed. A second independent gear train is connected between the drive belt and the rollers for driving the rollers at a relatively high speed, the gear trains being connected to the belt at points separated from one another. The drum and rollers are mounted in a drawer frame providing "pull out" movement with respect to a main frame. First and second one-way clutches of the axially separable type are interposed in the respective gear trains and axially oriented between the frames for completing separate drive connections in the trains when the drawer frame is closed in operating position, with the drive connections being broken when the drawer is pulled out for inspection or servicing.
