CA 2344813

A gear system includes a plurality of gear modules (10) each having spring clips (14, 15, 16, 17) for performing a snap-fit attachment to another similarly configured gear module (110) and for providing gear coupling between the modules. Each module includes a housing (11) within which a plurality of planetary gears (41, 42, 43, 44) are rotatably supported about a common opening (45) and a gear rotor (30) received upon the planetary gears and having an internal ring gear (32) in engagement with the planetary gears. Each rotor of each module includes a forwardly extending center gear (31). Each housing of each gear module includes a plurality of spring clips (14, 15, 16, 17) having gripping edges (24, 25, 26, 27) for being received upon and snap- fit engaging the housing of the next succeeding gear module. The modules may be combined in virtually any pratical number to obtain a desired gear ratio which is a multiple of the individual gear ratios of the modules.

Ce train d'engrenages comporte plusieurs modules d'engrenages (10) pourvus, chacun, d'attaches à ressort (14, 15, 16, 17) assurant un raccordement à encliquetage avec un autre module de structure identique (110) ainsi qu'un accouplement des engrenages entre modules. Chaque module possède un carter (11), dans lequel plusieurs engrenages planétaires (41, 42, 43, 44) sont montés rotatifs autour d'une ouverture commune (45), ainsi qu'un rotor à engrenages (30) venant se placer sur les engrenages planétaires et possédant une couronne de train planétaire intérieure (32) en prise avec les engrenages planétaires. Chaque rotor de chaque module comporte un engrenage central faisant saillie vers l'extérieur (31). Chaque carter de chaque module d'engrenages comporte plusieurs attaches à ressort (14, 15, 16, 17), dont les rebords de prise (24, 25, 26, 27) viennent se placer sur la face extérieure d'un capuchon d'extrémité, et un mécanisme à cliquet venant s'appliquer sur le carter du module d'engrenages suivant. Il est possible de combiner ces modules et ce, quelqu'en soit le nombre ou quasiment, pour obtenir le rapport de démultiplication souhaité, lequel rapport est un multiple des rapports de démultiplication propres à chaque module.
