US Patent:

41377982, Feb 6, 1979

Filed:

Feb 25, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/772176

Inventors:

Francis J. Sisk - Apollo PA
Thomas J. Fagan - Pittsburgh PA

Assignee:

Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

F16H 552
F16H 5710
B60K 4124

US Classification:

74812

Abstract:

Apparatus for rotating a driven shaft in the same direction at two different speeds upon rotation of a drive shaft in respective, opposed directions. The apparatus includes a sun gear on the drive shaft, a ring gear on the driven shaft, a planet carrier rotatably mounted on the drive shaft, adjacent to the sun gear, one or more planetary gears rotatably mounted on the planet carrier and in mesh with the sun and ring gears. An over-running clutch locks the planet carrier to the drive shaft when the latter rotates in one direction to thereby lock the planetary gears to the sun and ring gears to cause rotation of the ring gear and the driven shaft in a first direction at a first speed. A sprag prevents rotation of the planet carrier relative to a fixed support when the drive shaft rotates in the opposite direction to thereby allow rotation of the planetary gears about fixed axes to rotate the ring gear and thereby the driven shaft in the first direction at a second speed.

Inventors:

Thomas J. Fagan - Pittsburgh PA

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H01F 722

US Classification:

335216

Abstract:

Individual wires in a winding are formed as polygons having contacting faces and noncontacting faces. Contacting faces of adjacent wires are positively engaged, while the noncontacting faces of adjacent wires form the periphery of openings that extend through the winding. Insulation may be removed from the noncontacting faces to facilitate cooling.
