DRIVE TRANSMISSION DEVICE, FIXING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18450872 titled 'DRIVE TRANSMISSION DEVICE, FIXING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a drive transmission device with an input gear, swing gear, output gear, and shaft portion that allows for movement between two positions.
- Input gear rotates with driving force from a source
- Swing gear rotates with driving force from input gear, moving between two positions
- Output gear separates from swing gear at one position, contacts and rotates with swing gear at the other
- Shaft portion supports swing gear, allowing for movement between positions
- Swing gear has a guide hole for shaft portion insertion
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various mechanical systems requiring controlled transmission of rotational motion, such as automotive transmissions, industrial machinery, and robotics.
Problems Solved
The device provides a mechanism for changing the direction of rotation and controlling the transmission of power between gears, allowing for more versatile and efficient operation of machinery.
Benefits
- Improved control over rotational motion - Versatile application in different types of machinery - Efficient power transmission between gears

Original Abstract Submitted
A drive transmission device disclosed. The device has an input gear configured to rotate by a driving force from a driving source; a swing gear configured to rotate by a driving force from the input gear, the swing gear being located at a first position when the input gear is rotated in a forward direction and located at a second position that is different from the first position when the input gear is rotated in a backward direction that is a direction opposite to the forward direction; an output gear configured to separate from the swing gear when the swing gear is located at the first position, and that is in contact with the swing gear to be rotated by rotation of the swing gear when the swing gear is located at the second position; and a shaft portion configured to support the swing gear such that the swing gear is movable between the first position and the second position. The swing gear has a guide hole into which the shaft portion is inserted.
