Abstract: A gear mechanism having a shuttle gear adjacent both an auxiliary gear and an action gear and a cam plate, having a shuttle lock adjacent the shuttle gear and including a cam follower riding back and forth along a first cam pathway with an action element in mechanical communication with the action gear. A motor operates the shuttle gear with rotation of the motor in a first direction rotating the shuttle gear into engagement with the auxiliary gear, activating the shuttle lock to maintain the engagement throughout a predetermined rotational range of the cam plate and rotating the cam plate back and forth driving controlled back and forth movement of the auxiliary elements, with rotation of the motor in a second direction rotating the cam plate beyond the predetermined range releasing the shuttle lock.

Abstract: A speed changing transmission mechanism of a sheet laminating apparatus includes a reverse module, a power output shaft, a first power output roller, a second power output roller, a first belt, a second belt, a power input module and a shift module. Utilizing the reverse module, the power input module and the shift module, the speed changing transmission mechanism is capable of hot laminating the sheet article and withdrawing the jammed sheet article.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention facilitate shifting by reducing forces on certain shifting components and includes a snowmobile comprising a chassis, an engine supported by the chassis, a drive train operatively connected to the engine, the drive train comprising a reverse sprocket assembly functionally coupled to an upper sprocket assembly, a jackshaft rotatable within the upper sprocket assembly, and a pinion operatively connected to the jackshaft and selectively positionable axially along the jackshaft to a first position that engages the upper sprocket assembly to translate the snowmobile in a forward direction or to a second position that engages the reverse sprocket assembly to translate the snowmobile in a reverse direction.

Abstract: A gear box power control system is disclosed to be consisting of a centrifugal clutch with integral bell housing drive, a gear train for speed reduction and torque enhancement, an output jackshaft with an engaging system to disengage and engage engine power to a primary drive sprocket for chain operation. The engagement and disengagement of engine power is done by an integral engager remotely controlled by steel cable and hand lever. A motorized vehicle is disclosed as consisting of a standard bicycle frame or modified bicycle frame, a tricycle frame, a go-cart frame, and a paddle wheel boat frame all with the gear box power control system of present invention installed on a gasoline four cycle engine.

Abstract: A drilling/tapping/unscrewing apparatus including a transmission shaft of a power source on which a drilling ratio gear, a tapping ratio gear and an unscrewing ratio gear are mounted for transmitting the power of the power source to a bit. The apparatus further includes an adjustment unit for controlling the switching between the drilling, tapping and unscrewing operations of the apparatus. The adjustment mechanism includes a bit shaft on which a drilling gear, a tapping gear and an unscrewing gear are fitted. The tapping gear and the unscrewing gear are respectively engaged with the tapping ratio gear and the unscrewing ratio gear. The drilling gear and the tapping gear are controlled by an adjustment button to synchronously move up and down on the bit shaft, whereby the drilling gear can be engaged with or disengaged from the drilling ratio gear.

Abstract: A miter gear transmission includes a driving shaft, an idler cluster and a driven shaft. The idler cluster includes two cone-shaped gear sets, each having a proximate end with a gear having a largest number of teeth and a distal end with a gear having a smallest number of teeth. Gears with a decreasing number of teeth are located between the proximate and distal ends. The two gear sets are joined at their proximate ends. The idler cluster is suspended in bearings at a 45 degree angle between the driving and driven shafts with first and second spur gears slidably engaged to the shafts. Two actuator moves the spur gears along the shafts to engage the gear teeth of each of gears of the gear sets. By moving the spur gears to engage different gears, different gear ratios are achieved. A cable loop shifter moves the actuators along the shafts.

Abstract: It is sought to simplify the arrangement of the drive power switching system for an acoustic apparatus, thus permitting immediate switching of the drive power. A drive power switching system comprises driven gears always in mesh with a main drive gear located between a first and a second gear and a rocking member rotatably supporting the driven gears. The inter-axis distance between the axes of rotation of the first and second gears, is set to a length, in which the driven gears can be meshed with both the first and second gears as they are revolved together with the revolution of the rocking member.

Abstract: A structure of a variable transmission device includes an input shaft driven by a motor to perform alternate rotation having a gear on a middle portion, an output shaft having a pair of gears secured to the upper and lower ends respectively and a speed changing shaft positioned between the input and output shaft having a pair of gears rotatably secured to two ends respectively meshed with the gears of the output shaft and a spiral outer periphery on a middle portion rotatably and slidably engaged with an inner threaded gear which meshes with the teeth of the gear of the input shaft. Thereby, the rotation of the input shaft drives the inner threaded gear to rotatably slide about the spiral outer periphery to force the gears of the speed changing shaft to rotate and in turn to drive the gears of the output shaft to rotate in concert with the input shaft.

Abstract: A valve apparatus interconnects a single inlet duct with a plurality of outlet ducts. The apparatus has a manifold body that provides a passageway between the inlet and the outlets. Operatively positioned in each outlet is a butterfly valve. A single drive motor is used to operate all the valves, wherein each valve is operated independently of the other.
