Lever arrangement for tightening the belt is generally of the type described in Patent No. 2,370,484 Nabstedt of 27 February 1945, thebrake band itself is supported resiliently in the release position . In this example , -However, the gripping action is ensured by a thrust on the primary clamping lever , and , moreover , the arrangement is such that the pressure device can not force the lever mechanism beyond a neutral position , and can not , therefore , block the brake. In the present example , one end of the band is provided with an upright lug 98 and the other with a stud 99 which has loaded a clearance hole I00 receive the threaded pin which is provided on the outer side of the tab with nut IOI .

Operation of devices associated fluid pressure can be assumed respectively . the fluid is pressurized . liquid, such as oil, and both drawings schematically illustrate a control valve adapted to handle a fluid under pressure . This valve has a round housing that encloses a body 124 of the rotary valve 25 adapted to be converted. I26 by a suitable handle . The casing is connected in an image point of its circumference to a pipe '27 inletv 3 which leads to a source of liquid under pressure, and other points of its periphery is connected to housing thev hoses 94 and H3 , supra and an exhaust pipe or tube I28 - by rotating the valve body . positionsshown three different figures . 8, 9 and 10, the necessary engagement with the outer element of the friction clutch , and the clutch outer member is driven by the motor and transmits rotation to the axis B through the connection sections slotted clutch hub structure'at ' the front end of the shaft. The outer clutch member 8 carrieswith her ​​.
Through his connection "with the internal gear 80 of partsof turn the gear set including drum gear assembly that rotates freely inside the brake band . Under these conditions , with rotating parts gear'set as above, the gear train has a actionsimilar tothat of a flywheel . pressure device H , under these conditions , it has the position shown in Fig . 1 ' when parties thisposition one rotatable shaft B , which is non -rota - and connected Tivel members axiallymovable pressure . H device via the connections described above , including the tie rods or tie bolts'passing through these members and through the radially outward from the hub as a structure on which are mounted axially movable clutch elements . device J pressure under these conditions is shown in position - Fi'g . one valve I, being in the posithan of Fig . 8 the fluid supply connections from the valve to the clutch and brake device is in communication with the exhaust pipe and through the inlet pipe 21 which is connected to the pressure source fluid is closed by the valve body .To put the reverse gear in the neutral position , it is necessary to support the device for pressure without admitting pressure to the device H of J. This valveto achievedby converting the position shown in Fig . 9 wherein the inlet of the pressure source is connected to the'device H, J device , on the other hand, is connected to the exhaust . When pressure is admitted to the device H, the interior conical clutch elements are brought towards one another by'the forward movement : from the rear cone section and the rearward movement of the front cone section or forward . . Figure 3 shows the positions in which the cone members are moved by the removal . As illustrated , the release movement of the cone sections is limited by its coming into contact with each other on their adjacent surfaces , as shown in Fig . 3 - , but in some cases the movement may be limited by other means. The opposite movement of the cone sections of the disengaged position inthe engaged position is caused by the movement of the pressure members and 56 when pressure is introduced influenza - Identification in the annular space between these members. Referring to FIG . 3, the member 55 ' is pushed to the left by the inlet pressure and the movement is transmitted from the ring member 12 to move from 55 to 170 , the cone of the rear section in the same direction . The inlet pressure causes the movement of the mem - '- ber 56 inthe right , thereby causing movement of the cone section 37' in the same action directionthrough flange ll . When this movement has been effected disengaging the reverse gear is on the neutralposition . A: no neutral axis unit driven from the forwardend , as before ole - .described , and the outer clutch member rotates,without imparting rotation to the propeller shaft and is held in the surrounding water, while ' the ' sprockets have gearbox and planetary rotation .To displace : reverse, the valve controlling the body member has moved to the position shown in Fig . 10 . The result is to connect the source of fluid pressure devices H and J OFI cutting the exhaust port . The effect of this change in neutral from'the is continuing bymaintaining clutch disengagement the'connection the device . H, and to connect the brake application device so'that the brake pressure can be moved to the tightened position shown in Fig . April . This causes the pinion box gear set to keep still, and the drive is then reversed , because the clutch is out of engagement , the pinion cage is held stationary , and the internal gear 8I driven in the direction as a result of reverse gears rotate around fixed axes , the internal gear 8 | being driven opposite internal gear 80 .- A double cone clutch has marked advantages when used in connection with a reverse gear , and the double cone clutch described herein , in which the inner members are axially movable clutch splined to spline ring big , allows a pressure cylinder or area camera suificient be disposed radially inwardly with reference to the cone clutch element . The chamber or cylinder is provided between the oppositely moving annular pressure member which surrounds the shaft , a portion of the shaft which acts as support or bearing for the pressure device . Single fluid cylinder or chamber , which is expandable forward and backward, is easily controlled so that leakage of the fluid is concerned, since only two relatively small labels are necessary, a gasket associated with each piston or movable pressure member.There is some benefit in having the friction clutch actuated by springs to engaging position , in which , if the supply of fluid pressure is reduced or no work at all , the clutch is engaged to bring the full power of the engine, and the ship enter port . However, it is within the contemplation of the invention to have the coupled clutch fluid pressure and disengaged by means of springs . It is also noted that due to the fact that the brake lever clamp can not move to a central position or a position on the center , the brake can not be tightened to a degree where there is no danger of his being, locked against the release . It is, however , the invention contemplates that the pressure device in association with the brake band can be used for releasing a band is tightened by a spring or similar.A notable advantage of the invention is that the structure of the reverse gear and organization are the maximum simplicity and compactness . Rotary driving parts is minimized . This applies to the fluid pressure device associated with the friction clutch , and in this connection it should also be noted that it is not necessary to use a lever or the like in relation to the mechanism . Such levers occupy valuable space and to be unnecessary in accordance with the present invention, the gear assembly can be very close to the friction clutch , thereby reducing to a considerable extent of the total length of the device , which allows lighter investing team that is provided without any sacrifice of strength. Another distinct advantage arises from the fact that the device thecontrolling for controlling operation of the reverse gear is simple in nature and can be manipulated with greater ease. IThe way reverse gear described above and illustrated in the drawings is one for the splash lubrication , but the organization of the parties is such as to lend itself to pressure lubrication , and it is understood that the arrangement shown for outer member drive friction clutch is just exemplary .Another advantage of the described structure that the seal is used in connection with the production introif pressure medium in the drive shaft is located at or near the rear end of the device , where it is easily accessible.In the modified form of reverse gear shown in Figs . 11 to 15 inclusive, the friction clutch is actuated by a fluid pressure medium , but the clutch is different from the structure of that first described . The gear assembly is also of a different character , although the band brake mechanism and associated pressure device are similar to those described above. In this case there is provided a reduction gear , and the input fluid pressure to the clutch has a modified arrangement . In this way the fluid pressure device for displacement of the clutch comprises two pressure chambers in which the pressure medium introduced , one of these chambers being in one of the moving clutch - and being other in the other clutch moving MEM ​​- it. Moving the clutch members adapted to be moved toward and away from each other have a splined connection with the drive axis as before, but the detailed structure is substantially different from the first described .In this way, the housing clutch L K hasa frictio forwardly projecting it to a considerable extent , and the friction clutch is adapted to drive a shaft having a center M of the propeller coupling N applied to the rear end thereof . Concentric with the axis gear set is 0 . This set of gears - has a pinion cage surrounded by a band brake P. P brake band can be of the structure described above, and has associated with it a device in fluid pressure Q , it can be assumed that the same structure as the device of J , except for the fact that the device Q is of forward gear assembly in a space between the set of gears and the clutch, and except for the fact that the tightening mechanism of the band is arranged to suit different pressure device location .In this form of device , the clutch outer member has a generally similar to the first described manner, said outer member having on the front thereof, a substantially vertical wall I29 , to which a disk drive or coupling ( not shown) may be attached by suitable fasteners . The clutch has opposed inner movable elements or sections 30 and I i3i I32 spring loaded to normally remain in the engaged position separated . Each member or section is annular in shape , and the respective sections have grooves longitudinal grooves I33 and I34 and I35 I35 coupling , which in this case are formed directly on the periphery of an enlarged portion or hub shaft I31 . The sections are provided with annular grooves or recesses I38 and I39 , against , respectively , forward and backward, and these recessed portions of the sections, in relation to fixed part carried by the shaft and projecting into the recesses are fiuid adapted to provide expandable chambers . I38 projecting into the recess is an annular shaped piston 40 projecting MI froma member in the nature of a disc fixed to the front end of the axis by means such as screws 42 . Part I40 is provided with proper packaging as shown. The body portion of the disc-shaped member that 4! is positioned in front of the grooves of the section I30 . The recess in section I3 ! engages in the projecting part of a disc - I43 and I44 member remains in a fixed position on the shaft by means such as screws I45 .The shaft is provided with an internal longitudinal passage closed I46 0.1 1 forward end of the shaft by a cap 41, and provided intermediate the ends of the hub portion P3 ! I48 with a port communicate through oblique bores M9 , 159 in the cube, with internal passages in the members M1 and M4 . Since these internal conduits of the two members are identical, a description of one will suffice . Each member has a radial passage [ 51 communicates by a short branch for over 59 or I58 . Passage intermediate the ends of the central longitudinal passage I51 I52 leads through the piston - and to the end face of the piston, in order to allow fluid to reach the chamber in the section of the clutch. When fluid is admitted to voids or chambers , the inner members of the clutch - are moved from the engagement position , shown in Fig . 11, to the disengaged position , shown in Fig . 13 , against the action of springs P32 . In this movement moves each clutch sections is guided on the fixed piston ring portion rigid with the shaft. The fluid acts directly against a transverse wall provided in the clutch section , so as to force the clutch section forward or backward as the case .M6 passage in the shaft extends to the rear end of the shaft , as shown in Fig . 12 and the shaft end , which projects rearwardly from the housing , is applied to - the coupling externally N. This coupling element extends rearward beyond the end of the shaft to provide a chamber in the coupling 53 , which is closed at the rear coupling means such as a plate M4 . The fluid pressure device actuating'the laterally introduced into the chamber 153 via a port I55 , which port is in communication with a slot 155 on a relatively fixed seal ring Q51 has an inlet 1-58 to which an adequate supply pipe or tube (not shown) is connected . Suitable sealing material is interposed between the fixed ring I51 and rotatable coupling member . Also suitable sealing means are provided between the wall of the coupling member and the shaft side , as shown in Fig . 12 to prevent leakage of fluid in a forward direction.The clutch outer member is provided at its rear with a network 159 which is keyed to a planetary gear ! ) That is disposed within the cage pinion gear set 0 . This planetary gear rotates freely - 1st around the axis M. The pinion \ cage is in the embodiment of a drum for long shafts I'El pinions meshing with the sun gear and with short pinio'ns Hill , pinions 62 in turn meshes with a sun gear 53 which is keyed to the shaft .'The method of operation of reverse gear is substantially the same as in the first described form.The shapes of the sprocket shown herein are only exemplary , and it is understood that many different modifications and changes of detail can be made without departing from the main principles of the invention or the scope of the claims."
