ABSTRACT:
A new gear design providing increased load-carrying ability while being particularly adaptable to manufacture by lower-cost forming methods with powder metal or plastic materials. The teeth of the gears are unconventional in appearance, having a generally elliptical face outline formed by oppositely curved root and topland lines so that the height of each tooth face is maximum at midpoint and reduces substantially to zero at the length extremeties. The teeth are substantially inclined depthwise to the pitch [line] element and each gear has a large and small end, the tooth slots being invisible when the finished gear is viewed along its axis from the large end. The disclosure includes constructions and calculations for designing conjugate pairs of such unconventionally-shaped gears having preferred running characteristics.
