.~ Toothed gear and recirculated unconnected elements
DEFINITION
Classification: 74/216.3
(under subclass 640) Gearing which includes a guide tube in the form of a closed path, a plurality of free running independent bodies (e.g., balls) within and substantially filling said tube, and one or more notched rotary elements tangentially engaging the bodies axially of the run thereof to thereby transmit and/or receive power axially of the run by the compressive action of the bodies upon each other in the forward run of the path.

458+, for worm and helical gearing in which power is transmitted through the medium of balls received in pockets formed by the grooves of the meshing gears and in which the balls serve as antifriction elements.
499, and 500, for the gearing there classified and including the use of balls as antifriction elements between the meshing grooves of the gears.
