Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
In a transmission, a device for shifting one rotatable shaft transversely of its longitudinal axis relative to another rotatable shaft comprising a housing having a hollow portion partly defined by opposed side walls, opposed openings in said walls having axially spaced, inner, cylindrical, coaxial surfaces, axially spaced bearing mountings in said openings and having outer, cylindrical, coaxial surfaces seating on said inner cylindrical surfaces, said mountings being rotatably adjustable in said openings and having axially spaced, inner, coaxial, cylindrical surfaces eccentric to said outer cylindrical surfaces, shaft bearings in said mountings, and means engaging said mountings and clamping them in adjusted position in the housing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
In a transmission, a device for shifting one rotatable shaft transversely of its longitudinal axis relative to another rotatable shaft comprising a housing having a hollow portion partly defined by opposed side walls, opposed openings in said walls having axially spaced, inner, cylindrical, coaxial surfaces, axially spaced bearing mountings in said openings and having outer, cylindrical, coaxial surfaces seating on said inner cylindrical surfaces, said mountings being rotatably adjustable in said openings and having axially spaced, inner, coaxial, cylindrical surfaces eccentric to said outer cylindrical surfaces, shaft bearings in said mountings, and means engaging said mountings and clamping them in adjusted position in the housing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
The combination of elements set forth in claim 1 in which a first shaft is positioned in the shaft bearings, a second shaft is positioned in the housing remote from said first shaft and means is provided for transmitting of rotary motion from said first shaft to said second shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
The combination of elements set forth in claim 1 in which a first shaft is positioned in the shaft bearings and carries a chain sprocket between said mountings, a second shaft is positioned in the housing remote from the first shaft and carries a chain sprocket and a chain belt engages said sprockets for transmitting rotary motion from one shaft to the other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The combination of elements set forth in claim 1 in which said mountings have interengaging means for transmitting rotary adjusting motion from one mounting to the other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The combination of elements set forth in claim 1 in which one mounting has a tang extending therefrom to and engaging in a recess in the other mounting for transmitting rotary adjusting motion from one mounting to the other.
