ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a power take-off arrangement for use with motor vehicles. A power input shaft extends into a housing, and is drivingly connected to a motor vehicle engine and gearbox. A drive output shaft extends out of said housing and means are provided within said housing to drivingly connect or disconnect said power input shaft and said power output shaft. Said power output shaft is drivingly connected to the differential of the motor vehicle. The power input shaft mounts a sheave which is connected by means of flexible power transfer means, to a sheave and clutch of auxiliary equipment such as for example a pump. On drive connection means drivingly connecting said power input shaft and said power output shaft, and on the auxiliary equipment clutch being disengaged, the motor vehicle will be driven in a normal manner with the auxiliary equipment being in a non-operative mode. On the drive connection means being actuated to disengage said power inlet shaft and said power outlet shaft, and on said clutch associated with the auxiliary equipment being engaged, power from said power input shaft is imparted through said flexible power transfer means, to operate said auxiliary equipment.
