DEFINITION

Classification: 415/122.1

INCLUDING SHAFT TRANSMISSION TRAIN, BRAKE, CLUTCH, OR ATTENDANT ACTUATED DRIVE MEANS:

(under the class definition) Device comprising (a) means to transmit motion between a runner* or runner shaft* and a driven or driving shaft and including means for causing or permitting relative motion or speed between the runner or runner shaft and the driven or driving shaft, (b) means to retard, stop, or prevent movement of a runner or its shaft, (c) means to connect or disconnect a runner or runner shaft with a driven or driving shaft, or (d) means operated by a human or animal to cause movement of a runner.

(1) Note. Excluded under this definition are means whereby the motion between the shafts is transmitted without the possibility of relative motion. Thus a flanged coupling is not included, but a flexible cone, spit pulley, belt gearing, universal joint coupling, and other such similar couplings or trains are included.

(2) Note. Excluded under this definition is a mere shiftable nozzle or pipe for discharging a working fluid* onto the runner. To qualify under this definition, the means for braking must be in addition to the means discharging working fluid onto the runner.
