Abstract
An overspeed trip mechanism for a rotating shaft has a collar mounted on the shaft. An eccentric ring surrounds and is connected to the collar for rotation therewith. A trip member is located exteriorly of the collar. The eccentric ring is movable radially relative to the collar between a first position spaced from the trip member and a second position in contact therewith. A spring is arranged between the ring and the collar to yieldably urge the ring into its first position.
