Abstract
In an intermittent transmission meshing mechanism comprising a toothed drive member having a toothed portion and a circular outer periphery continuous therewith and a toothed driven member having a toothed portion and arcuate locking faces formed on the opposite sides thereof, an oil retaining member having a projection projecting toward the drive member is provided on the driven member between the toothed portion thereof and each of the locking faces or on each of the locking faces. When an end of the circular outer periphery of the drive member adjacent its toothed portion comes into sliding contact with the toothed portion or locking face of the driven member, the corresponding oil retaining member slightly presses against and applies lubricant to the end. The oil retaining member affords continued lubrication over a prolonged period of time without the depletion of lubricant liable to occur in conventional like meshing mechanisms and without entailing any waste of lubricant since no lubrication is done while the mechanism is out of operation. The oil retaining member can be easily replenished with lubricant.
