.~ Intermittent drive type of gearing for work-feed means {2}
275
.~.~ Mutilated gear in mesh with gear driving work-feed means
DEFINITION
Classification: 83/275
(under subclass 273) Device in which the increments of work-feed correspond to toothed portions of the periphery of a rotatable body which cooperates with another toothed rotatable body in the driving train for the work contacting feeding means, and the intervals of time during which the feed means is not driven correspond to untoothed portions of the first named rotatable body.
(1) Note. In this subclass, the gearing merely periodically interrupts the flows of power to work-feed means, but is not designed to lock the latter in position during the dwell intervals, for which see subclass 274.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
241+, for adjustable gearing which controls the timing of work-feed drive means but which does not itself drive said means.
246, for some disclosures of mutilated gearing in work-feed drives.
