ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is provided for engaging a first gear with a second gear that is used to connect and disconnect a brake mechanism and a roll shaft within the unwind station of a web press. The first gear is mounted for rotation to a first shaft secured to a frame, while the second gear is carried for rotation on a member movable with respect to the frame. The member may be moved in a manner that will move the second gear along a path from a first disengaged position to a second engaged position. The mechanism includes a rigid support member pivotally mounted to the first shaft for pivotal movement about the shaft toward and away from the path along which the second gear is moved. A third gear is rotatably mounted on the support member and engages the first gear. A fourth gear is also rotatably mounted on the support member, the fourth gear being engaged with the third gear and adjacent to but not engaged with the first gear. The support member is biased into a normal position, wherein the fourth gear extends partially into the path of movement of the second gear.
