GEARING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 501,415, dated July 11, 1893.

Application filed December 12, 1891- Serial No. 414,861- (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN AMBROSE GA- REY, of Sciotavale, in the county of Bradford and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gearing; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in gearing; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts which will be fully described hereinafter and particularly pointed out in the claim.

The object of my invention is to facilitate and make convenient the setting of thrashing machines, hay presses, and other mechanisms or machines which it is desired to operate,in relation to the engine or power, by allowing the latter to be placed in any relation or direction to the machine to be driven, thus taking advantage of uneven ground, wind, highways, the.

The accompanying drawing represents in elevation a gearing which embodies my invention complete.

A indicates a shaft which is connected with the machine to be driven, and is usually the main or driving shaft of the thrashing machine, hay press or other mechanism to be operated. Secured to the outer end of this shaft A, is a bevel gear wheel B, which meshes with the upper beveled face of a second bevel gear a Wheel 0, which is secured to a shaft 1, that is suitably journal'ed in boxes therefor, but which it is not necessary to here show. The opposite side of this wheel 0, is provided with beveled cogs which engage with a bevel gear wheel D, which latter is secured to a shaft E. This shaft is journaled in the ends of a rectangular frame F, which latter is journaled in a suitable support by means of the pivotal bolt 0r pin G, which extends centrally therefrom as shown. This pivot G, is in a line with the shaft I of the double bevel gear wheel 0, so that when the frame F is turned around upon its pivot, the wheel D, will engage the under side of the wheel 0, equally well in any position.

Secured to the shaft E is a pulley or band wheel H, around which the belt or band from the engine or power passes.

From the above description, it will be seen that the'engine or power may be placed in any desired relation to the main or driving shaft A of the machine to be operated, by turning around the frame F which carries the pulley or band wheel H, as this frame revolves around the center of the wheel 0, and as the wheel D is placed at one side of the pivot G equal to one half the diameter of the wheel 0, the two wheels engage and properly co-act at any point during a revolution of frame F, as will be readily conceived.

While I here show the main shaft A horizontal, and the pivot G vertical, it will be readily seen that the pivot G can be horizontal, and thus the gearing made to operate in conjunction with a vertical driving shaft, as well as with a horizontal one as here shown.

By means of the above construction, the engine or other source of power can be placed in any relative position to the machine that is being operated, thus making it convenient, in adjusting the positions of the machines, to suit the circumstances of the space, and to take advantage of uneven ground, wind and highways.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, of a driving shaft, a gear thereon, a shaft extending at right angles thereto, a double gear wheel 011 last mentioned shaft, one side of said double wheel meshing with the driving shaft wheel, a rotatable frame having a pivotal point concentric with the double gear wheel, a shaft journaled in said frame at right angles to the double gear wheel shaft, a gear upon the said shaft meshing with the other'side of said double gear wheel, and a driving pulley upon the said shaft, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EDWIN AMBROSE GAREY.
