Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A timing gear with a driven control cam disc having a ratchet and pawls, characterized by the fact that the control cam disc (2) has on its circumference a first set of teeth (5) and a second set of teeth (6), a first pawl (22) engaging the first set of teeth (5) and a second pawl (23) engaging the second set of teeth (6), an eccentric (13) on which said first pawl (22) is mounted, a shaft 25 driving said eccentric, said second pawl (23) having a slot (26) therein, a spring (29) acting to press said second pawl against the second set of teeth (6), a stop (32) on said second pawl (23), said shaft (25) extending through the slot (26), an eccentric cam (27) fastened firmly to said shaft (25), said stop (32) resting against said eccentric cam (27), so that a uniform driving of the shaft (25) will result in the control cam disc (2) being driven through the first set of teeth (5) and pawl (22) uniformly in small steps and through the second set of teeth (6) and the pawl (23) in larger steps and at longer time intervals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
