Abstract
Abstract In a reduction gear apparatus consisting of a pair of planetary gears rotatably mounted on an input shaft, and a plurality of internal gears positioned within a casing so as to engage with said planetary gears, an output shaft rotatably mounted to said casing is rotated at two different reduction ratios by selectively fixing said internal gears to said casing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A reduction gear apparatus comprising a casing, an input shaft rotatably mounted in said casing having a pair of eccentric shaft portions, a first and second planetary gear rotatably mounted on said eccentric shaft portions of said input shaft, a first and second internal gear positioned in said casing to engage with said first planetary gear respectively, a coupling internal gear rotatably mounted in said casing to engage with said first and second planetary gear, a third internal gear rotatably mounted in said casing to engage with said second planetary gear, an output shaft rotatably mounted in said casing to connected with said third internal gear, means for selectively fixing said first and second internal gear to said casing, whereby said output shaft may be rotated at two different reduction gear ratio.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
