6 Claims. (Cl. 123-179) This invention relates to couplings generally and has more particular reference to the provision of a couplmg device featuring simplicity of construction and low cost 'of manufacture.
One of the primary purposes of this invention resides in the provision of coupling means for transmitting torque in one direction only from a rotatable driver to a shaft to be driven. More specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide a coupling device of the character described comprising separate cooperable coupling members, one of which is adapted for securement to a shaft to be driven and the other of which has a spindle fixed thereto and adapted for securement in the chuck of a portable electric motor driven hand tool so that driving torque may be transmitted from the hand tool to the shaft to be driven in one direction through the coupling when the coupling members are brought into axial juxtaposition.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a coupling device of the character described which is specially suited to serve as a starting device for small internal combustion engines, and wherein the source of torque is furnished by the electric motor of a portable hand tool having one of the coupling members drivingly connected therewith.
With a view toward simplicity and low cost of manufacture, it is another object of this invention to provide a coupling device of the character described which comprises a pair of separate substantially fiat driving and driven discs having cooperating unidirectional driving abutments formed integrally thereon and cooperatively engageable with one another upon coaxial juxtapositioning of the discs.
Still another object of the invention resides in the provision of a coupling device of the character described comprising separate driving and driven discs having unidirectional driving abutments thereon cooperatively engageable with one another upon coaxial juxtapositioning of the discs, and wherein cooperating male and female pilot means on the discs facilitate such coaxial juxtapositioning thereof and assures against relative motion therebetween in directions crosswise of their axes of rotation.
With these and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, this invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the hereindisclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates one complete example of the physical embodiment of the invention constructed according to the best mode so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof and in which:
Figure l is a group perspective view illustrating the 2,316,535 Patented Dec. 17, 1957 use of the coupling of this invention for the starting of a small internal combustion engine and in which the electric motor of a portable electric motor driven hand tool serves as a source of torque;
Figure 2 is a group perspective view of the cooperating elements comprising the coupling of this invention and;
Figure 3 is a group view of the coupling members ofthis invention showing the same partly in side elevation and partly in section.
Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawing in which like numerals identify like parts throughout the several views, the numerals 5 and 6 generally designate separate cooperable driving and driven coupling members respectively, which together constitute the coupling device of this invention. The coupling members comprise identical substantially flat driving and driven discs 7 and 8, respectively, and while the driving disc 7 is coaxially mounted on the outer end portion of a spindle 10, the driven disc 8 is fixed to the outer end of a hub 11, coaxial therewith.
The hub on the driven disc has a bore 12 to receive an end portion of a shaft 13 to be driven, to which the driven coupling member may be non-rotatably secured as by one or more set screws 14 threaded in its hub 11. As seen in Figure 1, the shaft 13 may be the crankshaft of a small internal combustion engine 15 of a type which is usually provided with a cup-like rope starter pulley 16 encircling the exposed flywheel end of the crankshaft, with the side wall of the pulley spaced radially from the end of the crankshaft therein. The diameter of the driven disc, of course, is slightly less than the internal diameter of the rope starter pulley to enable the latter to accommodate the driven coupling member in its interior; and the side wall of the pulley may be provided with one or more access holes 17 to enable the set screws 14 to be tightened upon the projecting end of the crankshaft.
The spindle 10 on the driving disc 7 is of a size to be releasably secured in the chuck 18 of a portable electric motor driven hand tool'19, as seen in Figure 1, so that the driving disc may be power driven by the tool. The coupling device is operable to transmit rotation from the driving disc 7 to the driven disc 8 when the outer faces 20 of the discs are brought flatwise into coaxial juxtaposition so that starting torque may be applied to the crankshaft of the engine 15.
Rotation is transmitted to the driven disc 8 by the driving disc 7 when these discs are coaxially juxtaposed in the manner described, through a unique unidirectional driving connection which renders the coupling device particularly well suited for the starting of small internal v operating diametrically opposite radially extending driven abutments 24 and 25 on the disc 8. The surfaces of the driven abutments 24 and 25, however, project beyond the outer face 20 of the driven disc and face in the opposite circumferential direction (clockwise in Figure 2) from p the abutments on the driving disc 7.
Assuming the driving and driven discs 7 and 8 to be in flatwise coaxial juxtaposition with their outer faces contiguous to one another, in one position of relative rotation the upwardly facing driving abutment 22 on the disc 7 will engage the downwardly facing driven abutment 24 on the disc 8, while the downwardly facing driving abutment 23 on the disc '7 will engage the upwardly facing driven abutment 25 on the disc 8; and the two discs will be coupledtogether for rotation of the driven disc with the driving disc in the counter-clockwise direction only (Figure 2). g
It is a feature of the coupling device of this invention that the discs 7 and 8 are provided with cooperating driving and driven abutments which are integral with the discs and which may be formed thereon in an exceptionally simple manner without rendering the discs different from one another in any respect whatever. For this purpose, each disc is formed with diametrically opposite radial slits, indicated generally by the numeral 27 which extend inwardly from the periphery of the disc approximately one-half the distance to its center; and peripheral portions of the discs which adjoin edges of the slits which face in a common circumferential direction (clockwise in Figure 2), are offset or bent axially in the same direction, as at 28, out of the planes of the discs. In the case of the driving disc 7, therefore, the axially offset peripheral portions 28 are bent inwardly away from the plane of the outer face 20 of the disc to provide clearance for the engagement of the driven abutments 24 and 25 on the disc 8 with the driving abutments 22 and 23. On the driven disc 8, of course, the axially offset peripheral portions 28 are bent outwardly beyond the plane of the outer face 20 of the driven disc.
Hence, it will be seen that the axially offset peripheral portions 28 of the two discs nest with one another when the discs are fiatwise coaxially juxtaposed in the manner described hereinbefore, and that the outwardly offset peripheral portions 28 of the driven disc have their radially disposed end portions crossing the plane of the outer face 20 of the driving disc for engagement of their abutrnents with those on the driving disc.
From the description thus far, it will be apparent that the driving and driven discs can be stamped and formed from the same die, since they are identical in every respect, even to the provision of a substantially small central hole 30 in each. The hole in one of the discs provides a socket to receive a pilot 31 projecting coaxially from the outer face of the other disc. The pilot 31 is preferably formed as a reduced extension on the outer end of the spindle of a size to fit the hole 30 in the driving disc, and to be guidingly received in the hole 30' of the driven disc as the two discs are brought into fiatwise juxtaposition to render the coupling device operative. The pilot means described also assures against accidental lateral displacement of the discs relative to one another when they are cooperatively engaged.
As will be apparent from Figure 3, the driving disc 7 may have a force fit on the base of the pilot 31, or it may be welded to the spindle 10 as indicated at 33. The hub 11 on the driven coupling member 6 is also preferably'permanently secured to the inner face of the driven disc' 8 as by welding indicated at 34.
Attention is also directed to the fact that the cylindrical wall of the rope starter pulley 16 may itself serve as a guide for proper engagement of the driving disc 7 with the driven disc 8 and to prevent lateral displacement of the driving disc during use. This follows by reason of the fact that the outer end portion of the pulley extends a distance beyond the plane of the outer face of the driven disc when the driven coupling memblerfis in place on the projecting end of the engine cranks a t.
From the foregoing description, taken together with the accompanying drawing, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention provides a coupling device capable of a wide variety of uses, but which is particularly useful for effecting starting of a small internal combustion engine by a source of torque comprising the electric motor of a portable electric motordriven hand tool.
