Abstract

Apparatus for eliminating play between two interengaged gear wheels (4,10)f a gear wheel transmission includes a pair of disc-like transmission elements (1,2) which may be embodied in different forms. In one form of embodiment the elements (1,2) comprise two single eccentrics which are arranged movably relative to each other and so as to constitute a double eccentric. The central axis (2M) of the eccentric (2) is concentric with respect to the axis of rotation (10D) of the gear wheel (10). The spacing of the axes of rotation (4D,10D) of the two gear wheels (4,10) is a function of the eccentricity of the double eccentric (1,2). A spring (12) is connected to both eccentrics (1,2) in such a way that the two eccentrics (1,2) are pivoted relative to each other by the spring force in a direction such that the total eccentricity increases and thus play between the gear wheels (4,10), which are connected to the two eccentrics (1,2), is removed. A handle (16) is connected to a gear wheel (10) by way of an adjusting shaft (5) and the double eccentric (1,2) in such a way that, upon rotary movement in either of the two directions of rotation, said gear wheel is rotated relative to the other gear wheel (4) and at the same time an eccentric (1 or 2) is moved in the direction of slightly increasing the play between the two gear wheels (4,10).
