<p>A gear arrangement for transmitting torque through an angle and through a plurality of power extraction paths. The arrangement includes a driving shaft (20), a floating spur gear pinion (22) concentrically mounted on the drive shaft, a pair of concentric and opposed face gears (32, 34) that are in meshing engagement with the pinion (22), a primary driven shaft (42) mounted to one of the face gears (32) and at least one non-floating spur gear (60) also in meshing engagement with both face gears (32, 34). The driving shaft is located by a bearing or a flexible coupling (28) at the shaft end remote from the gear box to allow the pinion (22) to float freely. Useful power may be extracted from both face gears (32, 34) and the non-floating spur gear (60) as well as additional spur gears (92) that are placed in meshing engagement with the face gears.</p> |
