Belt drive, for example for thread-feeding devices of textile machines

摘要

A belt drive includes a driven shaft and two belt pulleys supported on the shaft for guiding toothed belts. Each belt has a toothed portion and a smooth untoothed portion. Each pulley is a multi-part element and includes a first portion having a toothed crown engageable with the toothed portion and a second portion having a smooth supporting surface for the non-toothed part of the belt. The first and second portions of the pulley are turnable relative to each other. The first portion of the pulley cooperating with the belt is the form-locking manner is rigidly connected to the shaft whereas the second portion for a friction-type connection with the belt is rotationally supported on the shaft and relative to the first portion.
