Cable transfer device with lost motion coupling for governors

摘要

A cable transfer device is disclosed for interconnecting the accelerator and throttle for installing a governor in a vehicle originally equipped with a single cable between the accelerator and the throttle. The transfer device comprises a fixed shaft with a drive transmitting sleeve rotatably mounted on the shaft. An accelerator lever is rotatably mounted on the sleeve and an override lever is nonrotatably mounted on the sleeve. The sleeve and the accelerator lever are interconnected by a torsion spring which exerts a biasing torque and a stop is provided to limit the rotation of the levers. A first cable is connected between the accelerator and the accelerator lever and a second cable is connected between the override lever and the throttle. A third cable is connected between the overriding throttle closing member of the governor and the override lever.
