Vintage Machinery entry for Reeves Pulley Co.
Description:
This patent is an improvement on the Reeves Pulley mechanism of patent 583,402. The improvements deal with an issue with the original design where it was difficult to keep the belt sufficiently tight, in part because the belt lacing would stretch slightly in use. The improvement uses a continuous (non-laced) belt and jam-nuts that allow the cone positions to be adjusted on the shaft; adjusting the cones for each pulley is used to adjust the belt tension.
