Gear assembly adapted for mating with a third gear without backlash

摘要

A gear assembly comprising two gears and a spring in the form of a C-shaped clip for applying a resilient force between the gears. Two pins are provided on the respective side surfaces of the gears to receive the spring which has concave end surfaces to be received by the pins. Each of the concave end surfaces is defined by a part of a circle having a center which lies on a line of action of force by the pins.
