Abstract
A gear-teeth protector for a change-speed gearing unit in which a pair of upper and lower change-speed gears of high meshing rate are arranged adjacent to an upright wall in a housing for the gearing unit. The gear-teeth protector comprises a U-shaped shroud member secured at its outer peripheral flanges to one face of the upright wall so as to prevent metallic alien particles being trapped between the change-speed gears, the shroud member forming a pair of side walls enclosing the teeth on the upper change-speed gear and extending adjacent to the upper teeth on the lower change-speed gear to enclose the meshing engagement portion between the two change-speed gears.
