Abstract
Abstract The driving arrangement comprises a planetary gearing transmitting driving torque to the driven output member including a hub journalled in bearings in a support structure and a drum coupled therewith, adapted to take up the load of a moving object. The hub is enclosed within the drum, the hub and the drum being interconnected with aid of discs fixed to their respective end faces, the discs being likewise rigidly coupled with aid of intermediate elements extending between the planet pinions of the planetary gearing, perpendicularly to the plane of rotation thereof. The shafts of the planetary gearing are rigidly coupled with one of the said discs. The driving arrangement incorporates a braking system accommodated outside of the hub.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
In a driving arrangement comprising planetary gearing means adapted to transmit driving torque to an output driven member including a hub enclosed with a drum and journalled in a supporting structure on bearing means, said drum being adapted to take up the load of a moving object, an improvement consists in that said hub enclosed within said drum is connected with the latter with aid of end face discs rigidly fixed, respectively, to said hub and to said drum, these discs, in their turn, being interconnected rigidly with aid of intermediate elements extending between the planet pinions of said planetary gearing means perpendicularly to the plane of rotation thereof, the shafts of said planetary gearing means being rigidly connected with one of these discs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
In a driving arrangement comprising planetary gearing means adapted to transmit driving torque to an output driven member including a hub enclosed with a drum and journalled in a supporting structure on bearing means, said drum being adapted to take up the load of a moving object, an improvement consists in that said hub enclosed within said drum is connected with the latter with aid of end face discs rigidly fixed, respectively, to said hub and to said drum, these discs, in their turn, being interconnected rigidly with aid of intermediate elements extending between the planet pinions of said planetary gearing means perpendicularly to the plane of rotation thereof, the shafts of said planetary gearing means being rigidly connected with one of these discs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
A driving arrangement as set forth in claim 1, wherein the shafts of the planet pinions are rigidly connected with the end face disc of the hub, the end face disc of the drum having made therethrough openings in a number equalling that of the planet pinions, to provide for displacement of the latter at assembling, the axes of these openings being parallel with the axis of the respective disc.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
A driving arrangement as set forth in claim 1, wherein the planet pinion carrier of the planetary gearing is rigidly connected with the end face disc of the drum, this disc having made therethrough openings in a number equalling that of the planet pinions, to provide for displacement of the planet pinions and of the carrier at assembling.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
62 words
A driving arrangement as set forth in claim 1, wherein the driving shaft of this driving arrangement has mounted thereon a driving disc adjacent to the end face disc of the drum, the intermediate elements including hollow studs of which the internal spaces accommodate therein spring-urging means adapted to cooperate with a friction disc, to urge the latter against the driving disc.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A driving arrangement as set forth in claim 1, wherein the end face discs and the intermediate elements form an integral structure.
