ABSTRACT:
An improved sprocket for engaging a roller chain has a plurality of teeth and bottom surfaces located between adjacent teeth. Each tooth has a trailing and a leading face, each of which includes a proximal surface adjoining the bottom surface of the sprocket, and a distal surface joining the proximal surface at a meshing point and extending outwardly therefrom. A chain roller is spaced from the proximal surfaces of opposed tooth faces and from the adjoining bottom surface when it is in engagement with the meshing points of these faces. The distal surface of the trailing face of each tooth is in the form of a circular arc centered on a point at which the center of an immediately preceding chain roller is located when in contact with the meshing point on the leading face of the same tooth and the opposing meshing point of the trailing face of the tooth immediately ahead of said same tooth. This configuration deadens the noise produced by collision of the rollers with the sprocket teeth, and decreases the overall noise level of the chain drive system.
