<p>A right angle drive gearbox (10) having a housing (12) defined by a pair of housing members (14, 16). The housing has a first opposed pair of cylindrical openings that are formed by opposed semi-cylindrical recesses (42, 46) in opposed side walls of one of the housing members and a second opposed pair of cylindrical openings that are formed by opposed semi-cylindrical recesses (44, 48) in opposed side walls of the other of the housing members. A first shaft (24) is rotatingly supported in the first opposed pair of cylindrical openings, and a second shaft (20) is rotatingly supported in the second opposed pair of cylindrical openings, the longitudinal central axes of the first and second shafts being spaced apart from one another and otherwise extending perpendicularly with respect to one another. A first gear (22) is affixed to the first shaft, at a location between the first pair of cylindrical openings, and a second gear (18) is affixed to the second shaft at a location between the second pair of cylindrical openings, the first and second gears drivingly engaging one another. A pair of threaded fasteners (50, 52) extend through one of the housing members to be threadably received in the other of the housing members to releasably join the housing members to one another.</p> |
