Abstract
Abstract A planetary gearing system comprising a planet carrier and planet gear wheels and planet friction wheels supported on planet wheel shafts on said planet carrier, said planet gear wheels cooperating with a gear ring encircling them and a sun gear wheel, said planet friction wheel cooperating with a friction ring circumscribing them and with a sun friction wheel, a housing enclosing the planet gearing system, said friction ring or ring gear being radially movable relative to said housing and means for mounting said gear ring and/or friction ring 20 in said housing by means providing an adjustable friction force so that they rotate in the housing when subjected to a torque exceeding a torque determined by said friction force.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A planetary gearing system comprising a planet carrier and planet gear wheels and planet friction wheels supported on planet wheel shafts on said planet carrier, said planet gear wheels cooperating with a gear ring encircling them and a sun gear wheel, said planet friction wheel cooperating with a friction ring circumscribing them and with a sun friction wheel, a housing enclosing the planet gearing system, said friction ring and ring gear being disposed in side by side abutting relation in said housing, means (46,48) engageable with said friction ring and ring gear at opposite axial ends which is selectively adjustable axially (40,40a) to providing an adjustable friction force between said ring gear and friction ring so that they rotate in said housing when subjected to a torque exceeding a torque determined by said friction force.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A planetary gearing system comprising a planet carrier and planet gear wheels and planet friction wheels supported on planet wheel shafts on said planet carrier, said planet gear wheels cooperating with a gear ring encircling them and a sun gear wheel, said planet friction wheel cooperating with a friction ring circumscribing them and with a sun friction wheel, a housing enclosing the planet gearing system, said friction ring and ring gear being disposed in side by side abutting relation in said housing, means (46,48) engageable with said friction ring and ring gear at opposite axial ends which is selectively adjustable axially (40,40a) to providing an adjustable friction force between said ring gear and friction ring so that they rotate in said housing when subjected to a torque exceeding a torque determined by said friction force.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A planetary gearing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means includes an end closure plate (46) and a washer 48 on opposite ends of said friction ring and ring gear and adjustable fastening means securing said end closure plate (46) to said housing for axiallly adjusting the position of said end closure plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
85 words
A device according to claim 1, characterized thereby that a guiding washer (21) is arranged coaxially between the sun gear wheel (17) and the friction sun wheel (19), which guiding washer has a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the sun gear wheel as well as the friction sun wheel and that an annular slot (23), wherein the peripheral edge portion of the guiding washer (21) is adapted to extend, is arranged between the planet gear wheels (15) and the planet friction wheels (16).
