Abstract
Abstract A motor mount having novel means for maintaining the belt from the motor to the driven instrumentality in constant undeviated alinement notwithstanding that a variable pitch pulley is used, of which one flange is axially slidable and the other flange is nonslidable, but wherewith relative lateral displacement between the pulley flanges and belt is compensated for simultaneously with the varying of the pitch diameter of engagement of the belt with said flanges.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A motor mount comprising a longitudinally movable carriage having an upper surface on which a motor is mounted, said surface having stud-receiving portal openings that are elongated in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of movement of said carriage, each of said portal openings being composed of a pair of slots each having toe and heel ends with the toe ends projecting in a direction longitudinally away from each other and with the heel ends lapping one with respect to the other, said portal openings being operatively receptive of motor clamping studs therethrough at selected locations ranging from toe to toe of the slots and said portal openings being arranged in a substantial rectangular pattern on the upper surface so that a portal opening is located at each corner of an imaginary right angle rectangle on said upper surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A motor mount comprising a longitudinally movable carriage having an upper surface on which a motor is mounted, said surface having stud-receiving portal openings that are elongated in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of movement of said carriage, each of said portal openings being composed of a pair of slots each having toe and heel ends with the toe ends projecting in a direction longitudinally away from each other and with the heel ends lapping one with respect to the other, said portal openings being operatively receptive of motor clamping studs therethrough at selected locations ranging from toe to toe of the slots and said portal openings being arranged in a substantial rectangular pattern on the upper surface so that a portal opening is located at each corner of an imaginary right angle rectangle on said upper surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein there are four portal openings and eight said slots constituting the same, each said portal opening including a pair of said slots at corresponding corners of said rectangle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein said slots of each said portal opening are parallel to each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 2, wherein all of said slots are parallel to each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein said heel ends of each pair of slots constituting a portal opening intercommunicate with each other adequately for permitting passage of a stud laterally of itself from one to the other of said pair of slots of a respective portal opening.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein said slots of each portal opening are parallel to and laterally separated from each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
56 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein a motor is fixedly superimposed on the upper surface of said carriage, said motor having a variable pitch pulley with an angularly tapered belt-receiving groove and said carriage having a path of movement substantially in parallelism to the angle of taper of one face of said groove.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 7, wherein said motor is mounted on said carriage in an angular relation to the path of movement of the carriage.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
106 words
A motor mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein a motor is secured on and movable with said carriage, said motor being equipped with a variable pitch pulley provided with flanges of which one is axially slidable and the other one nonslidable, said flanges having confronting tapered faces providing a groove adapted to receive a belt therein in radial sinking engagement with said faces thereby being displaced laterally by the face of the nonslidable flange while sinking in wedging engagement in said groove, and said motor in its movement having a substantially equal and opposite simultaneous compensating lateral displacement to the aforesaid displacement of the belt.
