Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-acting type dynamic back clearance relief driving system having two sets of worm shafts coupled with a worm gear, one worm shaft set acting as a prime mover worm shaft and the other acting as a displacement control worm shaft.

Another worm shaft set is a displacement control worm shaft coupled also with the worm gear set, or an individual worm gear set of the same pitch or different pitch to be locked upon the same shaft. The acting force to be applied constantly on the gear by the force applying worm shaft always causes the displacement control worm shaft to stress the worm gear reversely, and since the worm shaft is irreversibly driven, there is no clearance between the worm gear and the two worm shafts.

Abstract: An auto correction device for wearing end play in worm gear set has a correction worm gear, two linking gears and auxiliary linking gears to help power transmission in a smooth manner. The correction worm gear further includes a threaded thrust block, an auxiliary linking gear, a thrust plate, an expansion spring and a base plate. The thrust of the expansion spring against the thrust plate enables the displacement of the auxiliary linking gear and threaded thrust block to thrust against the correction worm gear to impose a force upon transmission gear to enable the transmission gear to lean tightly against the worm gear. Thus, wearing end play between the worm gear and the correction worm gear is eliminated.

Abstract: A gardening utility machine having a counter-rotation twin shaft system can perform multiple types of work required for gardening (tilling, soil removal, weeding, raking and shredding of leaves), snow/ice removal and for power de-thatching and mowing of lawn grass. This can be done by exchanging attachments on the counter-rotating twin shafts: if tines are installed on the twin shafts, soil tilling, weeding can be done; if auger blades with or without digging bits are in place instead, the machine can simultaneously till and remove soil or can remove ice/snow, or rake and shred leaves; if the front shaft is installed with a spiked roller and the rear shaft, a shearing reel, then the machine can power de-thatch and mow grass at the same time, and additional grass clipping mulching ability can be performed if a fan blower equipped with a mulching fan blade and a retractable bedknife is in place.

Abstract: A double-acting type dynamic back spacing removed driving system comprises non-reversible transmission worm gear and worm set including two sets of worms coupling with worm gear. When the system is driven, one prime worm continues applying rotary driving force. Whether or not the worm gear is driven, such force would engage upon the prime worm permanently, and another set of worm gear (or co-axially secured at respective worm gear with same or different pitch), due to application worm applies force to worm gear permanently. The displacement-controlling worm is packed always due to worm set being non-reversibly transmitted so no spacing appears between the worm gear and the worm.

A particular phase shift apparatus adapted for use with the index table or apparatus is also disclosed.
