Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention relates to an improvement in traction-engines. It has for its object the attainment of the same results aimed at by me in another construction, for which I have applied for Letters Patent of even date herewith, and marked "Case A" In short, these results are the adaptation of this class of engines to successful use under the varying strains to which they are subjected when passing uneven earth roads. The invention consists in the peculiar connection of the countershaft to the axle by means of a compound gearwheel having a laterally-flexible rim.
Claim:
he combination, with a driving gear-io wheel, K, and the axle, of a compound wheel arranged upon the axle and having a laterally-flexible toothed rim and draft-connection between- said toothed rim and the inner or web portion. |
