Abstract: A toothed belt power-transmission apparatus includes: a toothed belt which includes a cord and a plurality of belt tooth portions; and a plurality of toothed pulleys which include a plurality of pulley tooth portions. The cord includes a carbon fiber cord formed by combining and secondarily twisting a plurality of primary twisted yarns including a carbon fiber. A twisting direction of a primary twist of the primary twisted yarns is the same as a twisting direction of the secondary twist. A primary twisting coefficient of the primary twist is 0.62 to 1.30. A secondary twisting coefficient of the secondary twist is 2.06 to 3.95. A tooth pitch of the toothed belt is within a range of ?0.4% to +0.1% relative to a tooth pitch of the toothed pulley around which the toothed belt is wound.
Abstract: There is provided a sprocket for use in a wastewater treatment facility comprising a first portion, a second portion, and at least one fastener which snap locks the first portion to the second portion. There is also provided a sprocket for use in a wastewater treatment facility comprising at least one lightening hole, the sprocket being formed of non-metallic material.
Abstract: A motorcycle drive pulley is diametrically split to eliminate the necessity for removing the motorcycle rear wheel in order to change drive pulleys. The split drive pulley bolts to the rear wheel of a belt driven motorcycle. The pulley has a first surface which faces away from the wheel and is generally convexly dished with respect to the wheel, while a second pulley surface faces and is adjacent to the wheel and is generally concavely dished with respect to the wheel. The pulley halves are diametrically symmetric, however the first and second surfaces are nonsymmetric. The pulley is constructed from a suitable self lubricating nylon or plastic which results in increased drive belt longevity. A method for installing the pulley without the need to remove the rear motorcycle wheel is also disclosed.
