摘要:The invention is a dual-drive, self-ratcheting multiple input ports mechanism, that converts oscillatory motion applied to its input, to unidirectional axial rotation motion at its output and is able to be switched to produce solely clockwise rotation at its output, regardless of the direction of rotation applied to the input and is able to be switched to produce solely counterclockwise rotation at its output, regardless of the direction of rotation applied to the input and is provided with a detachable input handle, that can be coupled to said multiple input ports.
主权项:1. A dual drive mechanism configured for a clockwise rotational output mode for converting oscillatory motion applied to an input into a clockwise rotation motion at an output, a counterclockwise rotational output mode for converting oscillatory motion applied to the input into a counter-clockwise rotation motion at the output and a direct drive non-ratcheting mode, comprising: a drive shaft; a housing mounted on the drive shaft; a pair of driving elements mounted on said driveshaft within said housing, with each said driving element is coupled to a clutch component engaging the driveshaft so that the driveshaft is entrained in only one direction of axial rotation, when one of the driving elements is rotated in said one direction, while the driveshaft is overrun by the other driving element rotated in the opposite direction; a reversing mechanism positioned with said housing including a first rotating element defined by a first gear and a second rotating element defined by a second gear coupling the pair of driving elements together and causing them to always rotate in opposite directions, so that one driving element entrains the driveshaft and the other driving element overrides the driveshaft, causing the driveshaft to always rotate axially, in only one direction, regardless of the direction of rotation of the driving elements; a first input receptacle defining an inline input port disposed coaxially with the shaft enabling rotation of the drive shaft while the housing is held stationary; a second input receptacle coupled to said at least one gear of the reversing mechanism defining a non-inline input port enabling single-handed rotation of the drive shaft while simultaneously preventing the rotation of the housing; a detachable handle, for coupling to either the first input receptacle to rotate axially in clockwise and counterclockwise direction, the handle being pivotable for increased torque, or for coupling directly or indirectly to the second input receptacle to rotate axially in clockwise and counterclockwise direction as well as swing radially, in clockwise and counterclockwise direction; and an anti-rotation mechanism including a pivoting stabilizer lever, a slidable follower frame and a saddle with a curved underside, the pivoting stabilizer lever includes a cam at an underside thereof, the slidable follower frame having a triangular slot, an extension, a follower, an anti-rotation post and a knob, and the saddle includes a straight slide and a centered opening, wherein the cam is positioned in the triangular slot with the knob being guided in the straight slot causing a linear displacement of the follower frame, the anti-rotation mechanism enabling the drive mechanism to be operated in the direct drive non-ratcheting mode.
