ABSTRACT:
A multiratio drive which comprises a drive plate mounted for rotation upon an axis and means for drivingly coupling the drive plate to a source of motive power. A plurality of driven elements are mounted to the drive plate for sliding movement therewith in a direction radially of the axis. Cam means operatively engage the driven elements, the cam means also being mounted for rotation about the axis, the cam means positioning the driven elements at selected ones of a plurality of radially spaced-apart positions in response to relative rotational movement between the cam means and the driven elements. Detent means restrain the driven elements and cam means from relative rotation and shift means are provided for forcing selected relative rotational movement between the driven elements and the cam means to thereby alter the relative rotational positions thereof and correspondingly to alter the radial position of the driven elements and the effective diameter of the drive device.
