Claims
- 1. An interrupted intermittent motion device, comprising:
- a. a rotatable input drive shaft;
- b. a primary driver wheel disposed on said input drive shaft, with said primary driver wheel having an internal surface, a locking groove in said internal surface, and a driver roller connected to and protruding from said internal surface;
- c. a secondary driver wheel disposed on said input drive shaft, with said secondary driver wheel having an internal surface facing said internal surface of said primary driver wheel, a locking groove in said internal surface, and a driver roller connected to and protruding from said internal surface;
- d. a two-sided indexing driven wheel having:
- 1 a first side surface facing said internal surface of said primary driver wheel, with said first side surface having four adjacent and circumferentially-spaced drive slots therein which are dimensioned and configurated, individually and separately, to accept, engage with, and releasably hold said driver roller of said primary driver wheel, and with said first side surface also having six locking rollers connected to and protruding from said first side surface;
- 2 and, a second side surface facing said internal surface of said secondary driver wheel, with said second side surface having one drive slot therein dimensioned and configurated to accept, engage with, and releasably hold said driver roller of said secondary driver wheel, and with said second side surface also having two locking rollers connected to and protruding from said second side surface;
- e. and, a rotatable output shaft on which is disposed said two-sided indexing driven wheel.
- 2. An interrupted intermittent motion device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
- a. said four adjacent and circumferentially-spaced drive slots on said first side surface of said two-sided indexing driven wheel are each separated from adjacent drive slots by an angular measurement of 72.degree.;
- b. and, said one drive slot on said second side surface of said two-sided indexing driven wheel is separated by adjacent drive slots on said first side surface of said two-sided indexing driven wheel by an angular measurement of 72.degree..
