Abstract
A powdered metal gear is disclosed for use in an accommodating screw jack. The gear has a planar face, and teeth of generally truncated tetrahedronal shape are disposed around the circumference. A conical gear undersurface acts, with intertooth recesses, to form a first gear portion of substantially uniform material thickness. Scallop indentations in the undersurface mate with the gear teeth themselves to form a second gear portion of substantially uniform material thickness.
