Abstract
A transmission device, comprising an offset gearbox assembly coupling rotatable input and output shafts extending in respective input and output axial directions. An output gear is mounted in the offset gearbox assembly and is rotatable in a drive direction about an output gear axis to rotate the output shaft coupled therewith. An idler gear coupled to the output gear is rotatable about an idler gear axis in association with the output gear. An input gear assembly is coupled to the idler gear, is rotatable about an input gear axis in association with the idler gear, and is coupled to the input shaft such that rotation of the input shaft causes rotation of the output gear in the drive direction. The input gear assembly has the input shaft coupled therewith such that the input axial direction is nonparallel to the output axial direction. An associated method is also provided.
