DEFINITION of 'Budget Deficit'
A status of financial health in which expenditures exceed revenue. The term "budget deficit" is most commonly used to refer to government spending rather than business or individual spending. When referring to accrued federal government deficits, the term "national debt" is used.
The opposite of a budget deficit is a budget surplus, and when inflows equal outflows, the budget is said to be balanced.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Budget Deficit'
In the early 20th century, few industrialized countries had large fiscal deficits. This changed during the First World War, a time in which governments borrowed heavily and depleted financial reserves. Industrialized countries reduced these deficits until the 1960s and 1970s despite years of steady economic growth.
Budget deficits as a percentage of GDP may decrease in times of economic prosperity, as increased tax revenue, lower unemployment and economic growth reduce the need for government programs such as unemployment insurance. If investors expect higher inflation rates, which would reduce the real value of debt, they are likely to require higher interest rates on future loans to governments.
Countries can counter budget deficits by promoting economic growth, reducing government spending and increasing taxes. By reducing onerous regulations and simplifying tax regimes, a country can improve business confidence, thereby prompting improved economic conditions while increasing treasury inflows from taxes. Reducing government expenditures, including on social programs and defense, and reforming entitlement programs, such as state pensions, can result in less borrowing.

Re: Camping in a (trailered) boat
I've done this very thing a few times when my boat was kept in drydock, as far as stress I trailered mine for a couple of years and would have to climb all over her while on the trailer to step and lower the mast, get her rigged, etc. and then load everything on to her for going out for a day. One thing
I would do though is make screens for the hatches or have mosquito net to cover from fore hatch to back of cockpit and have a fan to run off 12 volt system.

November 27, 2014
Posted Saturday, October 26, 2013 --- 7:23 p.m.
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) -- Rob Zerban (zer-BAHN'), the Democrat who lost to U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan in last year's election, is mounting a new challenge next year.
Zerban told The Associated Press this week he was getting back in the race. He made his announcement official Saturday at a rally in Kenosha.
He lost last year by 12 percentage points, 55 percent to 43 percent. But that was Ryan's smallest margin of victory in eight races.
The 45-year-old Zerban is a former Kenosha County Board supervisor who used to run two small businesses. He blames Ryan for voting against ending the government shutdown, and for advancing a budget that cuts money from social-service programs.
Zerban says he supports green technology, immigration reform and same-sex marriage.

Absolutely amazing. Extraordinarily talented actors!!
Music/Book by Joe Kinosian
Lyrics/Book by Kellen Blair
Directed by David H. Bell
Developed at CST under the guidance of Creative Producer Rick Boynton, Murder for Two — A Killer Musical mixes the suspense of an Agatha Christie mystery with old-fashioned musical comedy and a dash of modern panache to tell the tale of an inspector's crime investigation at the home of an recently deceased novelist. Hoping for a promotion to the ranks of detective, the inspector takes on the dangerous task of interrogating the murdered novelist's eccentric relatives and so-called friends (all played by Kinosian) — and discovers that no one is who they appear to be.
A hilarious display of wits and musical showmanship, this madcap musical mystery will tickle the ivories and your funny bone.

Thinking back to the whirlwind that was last week- going straight from DC to Orizaba for a little #MexiSnowGetaway. We packed so much into those four days. There's nothing I love more than climbing and skiing big mountains. It forces me to find peace in the present moment and enjoy the little things. The experience of seeing the mountain shadow at sunrise – shared with good friends – is so precious, I feel grateful we had such a successful trip! More pics to come! @brodyleven @graysonschaffer @outsidemagazine
When you hike through the night, the miles seem to disappear like a dream beneath your feet. The pain and suffering melts away. And then, the first hint of sunrise gently nudges you awake. Photo: transitioning into crampons around 16,500' on the Jamapa glacier of Pico de Orizaba. #MexiSnowGetaway @graysonschaffer @outsidemagazine @brodyleven Happy to be home now in one piece.
I grew up in Minnesota, so snowy winters have always been a way of life for me. I love snow so much! Which is why I felt compelled to go to DC with @protectourwinters to talk about the effects of I've climate change I've seen, and how they are affecting the $60 billion dollar snowsports industry. But it's more than dollars. It's a way of life I want to preserve for future generations. Now, I'm off to vacation. @brodyleven, @graysonwyatt and I are going to Mexico, with two days to climb and ski the highest volcano in North America. Wish me luck, because this might hurt. #MexiSnowGetaway Photo: @louisarevalo
Tomorrow, I'm heading to Washington, DC with @protectourwinters. We are doing a @Twitter Town Hall with @GinaEPA on Tuesday to have a conversation with the winter sports community about climate, snow sports and carbon standards. Ask us questions anytime from now til Tues. morning on Twitter using #AthletesActOnClimate hashtag. We will answer questions from 10:15-10:45. I am beyond excited for this opportunity! After DC, I'm heading on an exotic ski mountaineering adventure. Stay tuned for more updates from a crazy week ahead!
Huge thanks to everyone who came to my #chamonixoxo slideshow last night at @zealoptics! I felt so much love from the Boulder community. So awesome to meet you all and share stories on a cold, snowy Thursday night. thanks to all the sponsors who supported the silent auction and @protectourwinters fundraiser! #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz @goalzero @lekiusa @bigagnes_ @jaybirdsport @clifbarcompany @patagonia
I steep skiing and cannot wait to get back on my skis. Is it winter yet? This pic is from one of my best days last season, skiing the West Couloir of the Chardonnet in Cham. Photo: @ktmillerphoto On a similar note, if you are in Boulder tomorrow night and want to learn more about my trip to Chamonix, come check out my slideshow at 6pm at @zealoptics headquarters. There will also be a fundraiser for @protectourwinters with lots of great items from my sponsors, @jaybirdsport @bigagnes_ @patagonia @goalzero @clifbarcompany @lekiusa. Hope to see you there!#chamonixoxo #bigmtndreams
Summit smiles after some spicymixed knife-edge ridge walking. If climbing up the South Ridge of Superior ever seems easy to you, may I suggest adding weight to your pack and wearing mountain boots? And why not throw add a little snow and ice into the mix and some brisk wind? It took a little longer than usual, but I made it up that mountain. Photo: @parkcityrob #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz
I'm learning that suffering is an inherent part of happiness. It's hard to describe the roller coaster of emotions this past week has been. I went on one of the hardest trips of my life – up to Seattle for @liz_daley's memorial party. It was a sad yet beautiful celebration of life with an awesome group of people. I carry with me an indescribable sense of loss, but also a deep gratitude for the time we spent together. And a reminder to stay positive and keep dancing, because life is pretty awesome. Her memorial party prompted me to dig up this old video clip from our first trip together in Chile. #livelikeliz
Good evening from @snowbird. Some days you summit and other days, you need to unwind and recharge. I'm learning that it's important to take recovery seriously. One of my favorite recovery activities is the yoga- hot tub- steam room trifecta at the Cliff Spa at @snowbird! Here's the sunset from the spa. It was a gorgeous night to be up in the mountains. #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz
3 days of meetings at @patagonia remind me how stoked I am to be an ambassador for this company. One of the reasons is because of their willingness to disrupt the status quo. Example: all fall 2014 jackets have #traceabledown. Unwilling to accept conventional down standards, @patagonia went ahead and traced every cluster of down to ensure that is came from birds who were never force fed or live plucked. In doing so, they established the highest animal welfare standards in the apparel industry. It's that willingness to ask the hard questions and find the deeper truth that makes them a remarkable company. Not all down is equal. Find out more at Patagonia.com/traceabledown #whatthepluck
One of the best things about this @Patagonia ambassador summit is the opportunity to meet all the athletes. There's so much to learn from other outdoor athletes, from the surfers to the fly fishing team to the trail runners and the climbers (especially @katerutherford and Kitty Calhoun, pictured here). I loved watching Kate's smooth climbing style and getting Kitty's nutrition tips for high altitude climbing expeditions! It was a real treat to get out and climb with everyone today. #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz
Be wild, authentic and free. It took a certain rebelliousness for me to understand that I could pursue my passion for the mountains. I'm so grateful to be spending the week at @patagonia headquarters with 70+ other athletes who have figured out how to pursue their passions and dreams. So much inspiration, my head is spinning after just one day here! #stoked @louisarevalo
Adventure is a state of mind. Go see what's around the next corner. I love exploring my backyard ranges as much as I love traveling to far away mountains. So stoked I made it back up to the Uintas before the snow covers the road. Excellent day in the mtns with @thegription and @louisarevalo for @gowithoutwalls.

As I'm getting ready to head to a @patagonia ambassador summit this week, I can't help but think about @liz_daley. I just hope she knew how much she inspired me, and how much I enjoyed our time together. It's a good reminder to be honest and open about your feelings and live and love the present moment with all your heart. #livelikeliz #bigmtndreams
Good partners make even the most miserable slogs enjoyable. When I told @brodyleven that I was going to load up my pack with extra weight, I was sure he would bail on our plans. Instead, he added 20 lbs to his pack so we could chat along the way. So grateful for all my awesome training partners! #myrunningpal #bigmtndreams
Last night's training: climbing the South Ridge of Superior in mountain boots with 20% of my body weight in my pack. It seems crazy to carry all that unnecessary weight up 3000' until you realize it's the perfect training for ski mountaineering. #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz #utavy #usaw14 photo: @brodyleven
One of my tips for living a healthy, active lifestyle is to plan activities with people who are similarly motivated and who have a positive, uplifting energy! This week, I'm hoping to hit the trails with @brookegaynes, an absolute shining star and one of my favorite partners in crime. #livelikeliz #bigmtndreams @altaskiarea @johngaynes
Climbing success seems to come down to one's ability to withstand discomfort, whether it's the weight of a heavy pack on your shoulders or the slow drip of dirty water on you as you place gear in a wet and slippery chimney (pictured here). How you deal with discomfort is the difference between success and failure. It takes a total acceptance of the present moment. You learn to love those things, the intense wind in your face, cold fingertips, painful feet and fatigue because they teach you lessons about yourself and provide the opportunity to grow. @brodyleven #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz
Is that pure stoke…or fear in my eyes? There's a fine line between what is fun and what is scary. The best adventures are the ones where you're dancing on that line, keeping all the elements and emotions harmoniously balanced. Approaching the thumb yesterday morning… Photo by @brodyleven #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz
Ever since I first saw "The thumb," I've wanted to climb it. Yesterday, I made my 10+ year dream a reality. Everything came together for an adventure of epic proportions, and, thankfully, we made it home in time for dinner. It takes just the right partner to have success on an outing like this and I'm so grateful @brodyleven (pictured here, on the approach) was willing and able! #bigmtndreams #livelikeliz
Some vertical feet are gained easier than others. But I love the challenge! Climbing multi-pitch granite trad routes makes me think of @liz_daley. She inspired me to push myself and get on the sharp end. Going to do an LCC classic today that would make her proud. #livelikeliz photo: @brodyleven #bigmtndreams
Today's workout: Carrying 20% of my body weight up 3000 vertical feet today at @snowbird. The weight is in water jugs (1 gallon=8 lbs), which can easily be emptied for the down. It's one of the recommendations from "Training for the New Alpinism," an awesome guidebook by @stevehouse10 and Scott Johnston. I highly recommend it to help you achieve your big mountain goals, whether you are a weekend warrior or an elite alpinist. Available through @patagonia books- Link in profile. #bigmtndreams #exploremore #livelikeliz
The cooler temps have me getting so stoked for winter, and continuing to train hard with a heavy, weighted pack. For those of you who live near Utah- the Utah Snow and Avalanche Workshop (#USAW14) is coming up Nov. 1! The UT Avy center wants to know how you are training for 14/15 winter. Follow @utavy, share a photo or video showing what you are doing, tag #utavy and #usaw14 and enter to win great prizes. @matthewturley
Bongeater was the last climb my friend @tonypavlantos did with @liz_daley. Today, I put on my pinkest, sparkliest leggings and we climbed this beautiful splitter in her memory. There's nothing quite like crack climbing to take your mind off the loss of a friend. Liz, I'll always channel your spirit when I'm pulling the crux move on bongeater.
Yesterday was a hard day for the snowsports community. Three of our friends died in avalanches in South America, including my dear friend @liz_daley. Liz had a sparkle that shined through everything she did. She was an inspiration because of her enthusiasm and her abilities. For every challenge she encountered, she confronted it with creativity, a positive attitude and love. And that is the spirit, her legacy, for us to carry on. She'll be in my heart forever. My love goes to all her friends and family. Big hugs to everyone!
There are these moments, when I get to the top of a peak…I think about how much I love climbing. Then, I remember what I'm really training for. Climbing is part of it but for me, it's all about skiing the lines of my dreams. I cannot wait for the mountains to be covered in snow!!! Not long now… #bigmtndreams #winterlove

@MISC{Said04comparativeanalysis, author = {Amir Said}, title = {Comparative Analysis of Arithmetic Coding Computational Complexity}, year = {2004}}
Some long-held assumptions about the most demanding computations for arithmetic coding are now obsolete due to new hardware. For instance, it is not advantageous to replace multiplication---which now can be done with high precision in a single CPU clock cycle---with comparisons and table-based approximations. A good understanding of the cost of the arithmetic coding computations is needed to design e#cient implementations for the current and future processors. In this work we profile these computations by comparing the running times of many implementations, trying to change at most one part at a time, and avoiding small e#ects being masked by much larger ones. For instance, we test arithmetic operations ranging from 16-bit integers to 48-bit floating point; and renormalization outputs from single bit to 16 bits. To evaluate the complexity of adaptive coding we compare static models and di#erent adaptation strategies. We observe that significant speed gains are possible if we do not insist on updating the code immediately after each coded symbol. The results show that the fastest techniques are those that e#ectively use the CPU's hardware: full-precision arithmetic, byte output, table look-up decoding, and periodic updating.

Home » News » Politics » Town Meetings
Candia school deliberation peaceful until final item
The district's proposed operating budget of $8,042,055 was passed to the ballot without discussion, as were the two collective bargaining agreements. The first, between the Candia School Board and the Candia Education Association, calls for three salary and benefit increases over the next three years: a $54,137 increase for 2013-2014, $65,146 for 2014-2015, and $50,513 for 2015-2016.
The second, between the Candia School Board and the Candia Education Support Professionals contains only one salary and benefit increase: $5,772 for 2013-2014.
The final warrant, however, a petition article to reduce kindergarten at the Moore School from a full day to a half-day, was amended to include a qualifier noting that the article was "advisory" and "non-binding."
Judith Szot, a budget committee member who organized the petition, spoke out forcefully against the amendment, arguing that it denied "the citizens' right to petition their government."
"You take away the fundamental right of the people of this town to make the decisions on what happens with their money and in their school," she said. "By putting in that sentence, they are taking away the right of the people to petition their government, and I think that's wrong."
Szot insisted that the legal advice she had received suggested that should the petition pass, it would be binding on the school district. According to the School Board and its legal counsel, however, with or without the amendment the petition could only be advisory, as matters of curriculum rest entirely within the jurisdiction of the school board.
The board also said that the amendment to the question simply communicated to voters the reality of the warrant's nature without changing it, staving off any potential frustration or confusion should it pass and the board choose to continue with full-day kindergarten sessions.
"This is simply adding a level of communication to the community," said board Vice-Chair Nicole LaFlamme. "I understand what you're trying to do, but this doesn't change that."
The amendment passed by a significant margin, and the warrant was subsequently passed to the ballot.
Several voters said the debate was akin to the town's Feb. 2 deliberative session. At that session, similar frustration was expressed when a $100,000 warrant to hire a contractor for the demolition and closure of the town's former incinerator site and dump was reduced by its opponents to $1 through an amendment, initiated by Szot, effectively killing the plan before it could face a full vote at the March 12 town election.
The amendment opened a floodgate of similar amendments, with motions passing which rendered a warrant to define the town clerk's office hours and a warrant to abolish the town's Conversation Commission virtually meaningless. As its usage spread, many voters who supported the amendment to defund the incinerator site plan, including Szot, spoke out against the practice.
The town and school district's ballots will appear before voters at the town election on March 12. It will be held at the Henry W. Moore School, 12 Deerfield Road, with the polls open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

A 21-year-old Menomonee Falls man's day took a turn for the worse when two assailants forced him back into his car at gunpoint at Kmart and then drove him elsewhere to rob him.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The victim wasn't seven steps past his car in the parking lot of the store, 3201 N. Mayfair Road, when one of the assailants suddenly jumped at him, yelling "Yeah, you know what time it is!" at 2:10 p.m. Jan. 29.
After the man was forced back into his car, his two assailants took positions in the driver seat and in the back seat. One punched the man in the head while keeping the gun trained on him. The victim was forced to take his pants off and empty his pockets while the car was in motion. They took his cellphone and wallet before kicking him out of the car, which the robbers also took. His losses was estimated at more than $1,700.

All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Jayalalithaa on Saturday accused Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi of betraying the interests of farmers and held the DMK government responsible for causing a downslide in agricultural production in the State.
Terming the DMK regime anti-farmer and anti-people, she called upon the people to use their franchise intelligently to dislodge it and vote the AIADMK to power to protect the interests of Tamil Nadu.
Addressing a public meeting, she said Mr. Karunanidhi had not taken any steps to get the State's rightful share of Cauvery water from Karnataka. The water table had gone down drastically in the State owing to indiscriminate sand mining from riverbeds and farmers were unable to tap even the available water owing to acute power shortage. Agriculture had become an unviable proposition for farmers, she said.
Punctuating her over one-and-a-half hour speech with songs from Tamil films to highlight the plight of farmers and fishermen, Ms. Jayalalithaa charged Mr. Karunanidhi with repeatedly betraying the State's interests in the Cauvery water dispute since the 1970s. The Chief Minister had not taken steps to get the final award of the Cauvery Tribunal published in the gazette. The area under kuruvai cultivation had come down by 50,000 hectares, even by the admission of a DMK Minister, owing to the delay in releasing water from the Mettur dam, normally opened on June 12.
Mr. Karunanidhi was trying to create an impression that Karnataka had released water in Cauvery now. But the Karnataka Irrigation Minister had made it clear that only the surplus water from Kabini had been released. Given the water scarcity, power shortage and poor returns, farmers were selling off their lands. Farm labourers were falling into a debt trap and migrating to urban centres looking for jobs. "Tamil Nadu will face a famine if this situation continued. Some people will say that foodgrains could be imported. This is dangerous and this will only lead to further price rise," she cautioned.
Ms. Jayalalithaa also accused Mr. Karunanidhi of surrendering the interests of Tamil Nadu fishermen by ceding Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka. Now, Tamil Nadu fishermen were being subject to attacks by the Sri Lankan Navy.
The DMK government had failed to take any steps to curb price rise, which affected all sections of society. Despite promises from the government, no solution had been found to overcome power shortage. "Instead of power, only the power tariff hike has come," she observed.
The functioning of the Police, Education and Food departments had witnessed a downslide. Law and order had deteriorated in the State. Smuggling of ration rice was rampant.
It was unheard of for a ruling party to stage an agitation against the Opposition leader, she said referring to the recent DMK agitation against adjournments sought by her in the wealth case.
D. Jayakumar and R. Vaithilingam, MLAs, R. Manoharan, urban district secretary, and Subramanian, rural district secretary, Tiruchi, spoke.

A vehicular control system utilizes a combination of drive mechanisms to provide a simple and inexpensive drive and steering system. A power unit is connected by sheaves and belts to drive a first drive shaft. A second driven shaft has independent portions coupled to wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle. The coupling of power to the wheels is accomplished in a first mode by engaging a belt between pulleys on the drive and driven shafts to provide drive control of the vehicle in a first direction. However, by simply reversing drive control levers, a second mode of coupling is selected that engages frictional drums on each of the drive and driven shafts in a direct drive relation that causes rotation of the driven shaft portions in an opposite direction to that of the first mode to operate the vehicle in an opposite direction. By pushing drive control levers in opposite directions the independent portions of the driven shaft are rotated in opposite directions to thereby rotate wheels on opposed sides of the vehicle in opposite directions. Thus, power is utilized by wheels on both sides of the vehicle simultaneously but in opposite directions to more positively steer the vehicle.
1. A vehicle in which driving power is applied separately to opposite sides of the vehicle including:
a frame;
an engine mounted on said frame;
left and right traction means on opposite sides of said frame;
a rotatable drive means operatively connected to said engine and rotated thereby, said drive means having a power transmission system mounted thereon for rotation therewith;
a left rotatable driven means operatively connected to said left traction means;
a right rotatable driven means operatively connected to said right traction means;
a left control means having first and second transmission means arranged for power connection with said transmission system of said drive means and operatively connected to said left driven means for rotating said left driven means in respective opposite directions, said left control means being mounted for movement with respect to said frame between a first position operatively connecting said first transmission means and disconnecting said second transmission means with said transmission system of said drive means and a second position connecting said second transmission means and disconnecting said first transmision means with said transmission system of said drive means;
a right control means having first and second transmission means arranged for power connection with said transmission system of said drive means and operatively connected to said right driven means for rotating said right driven means in respective opposite directions, said right control means being mounted for movement independently of said left control means and with respect to said frame between a first position operatively connecting said first transmission means and disconnecting said second transmission means with said transmission system of said drive means and a second position connecting said second transmission means and disconnecting said first transmission means with said transmission system of said drive means.
2. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein the first and second transmission means of each of said control means comprise respective first and second rotatable transmission members, each such first rotatable transmission member being directly connectable to the transmission system of said drive means for rotation in a first direction, and each such second rotatable transmission member being connectable to the transmission system of said drive means by means of a flexible closed loop for rotation in a second direction opposite said first direction;
and wherein such movement of each of said control means between its first and second positions effects movement of the respective first and second transmission members toward and away from said drive means.
3. The vehicle of claim 2 wherein each of said first rotatable transmission members of said control means is a drum, and wherein the transmission system of said drive means comprises drum means arranged for engagement with said drums of said control means.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein each of said second rotatable transmission members of said control means is a pulley, and wherein said transmission system of said drive means comprises left and right pulleys respectively connected to the pulleys of said left and right control means by said loops.
5. The vehicle of claim 2 wherein said drive means comprises a drive shaft;
wherein each of said control means comprises a respective control shaft generally parallel to said drive shaft;
wherein each of said rotatable transmission members is mounted on the respective one of said control shafts for joint rotation therewith; and
wherein each control shaft is mounted on a pivot axis generally transverse to said control shaft for said movement between said first and second positions.
6. The vehicle of claim 5 wherein each of said control means further comprises a linking element on said control shaft on the opposite side of said pivot axis from said rotatable transmission members for connection to the respective driven means, said first and second rotatable transmission members being spaced along said control shaft from said pivot axis by a greater distance than said linking element.
7. The vehicle of claim 6 further including left and right operator levers movably mounted on said frame and connected respectively to said left and right control means, each on the same side of the respective pivot axis as the respective transmission members.
The present invention relates to a vehicle control system and more particularly to a new and improved vehicle drive and steering system.
Typically in so called all terrain vehicles two drive trains having a series of sprocket and chain assemblies or the like on each side of the vehicle are used independently to control wheels or tracks on opposite sides of the vehicle. Power to the separate drive trains is typically controlled by a pair of drive control levers, wherein one lever controls the wheels on one side of the vehicle and the other lever controls the wheels on the other side of the vehicle. Normally, moving a lever forward causes the wheels on that respective side to turn, and moving the lever rearwardly causes the wheels on that respective side to brake. A central position of the lever is neutral and has no effect on the wheels. Consequently, such a prior art vehicle control is used to cause the vehicle to move forwardly when the gear box is turning forward by moving both levers forwardly, turn to the left by moving the left lever back while holding the right lever forward, and turn right by moving the left lever forward and the right lever back. This operational pattern of the levers has been used for many years and operators of such vehicles have become accustomed to this type of steering system.
Many prior art vehicles of this type have utilized a separate power supply or engine for each side of the vehicle. An early example of such an apparatus is shown in Parker U.S. Pat. No. 1,430,251 which discloses an engine on each side of a four wheel tractor, with the engine being connected to respective wheels by a chain and sprocket drive system. Steering is accomplished by connecting power on one side of the vehicle to its respective wheels while disconnecting power on the opposite side to its respective wheels. A similar type of vehicle is disclosed in Shanahan et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,204,713, which utilizes a single power supply that is divided through separate drive trains to wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle and utilizes simultaneous braking on one side of the vehicle and wheel rotation on the other side of the vehicle to accomplish steering.
Rhoades U.S. Pat. No. 2,605,852 shows a vehicle having two separate electrical motors for each side of the vehicle and arranged in series across a power supply. Brakes are applied to the motor on one side of the vehicle which automatically speeds up the motor on the other side to accomplish steering. Rilling U.S. Pat. No. 3,616,869 utilizes a power supply to develop power through two hydraulic motors, one for each side of the vehicle, wherein the wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle are run at unequal speeds in order to accomplish steering. All of the above described systems offer various apparent disadvantages, but in the more modern steering control systems, the main drawbacks, aside from not providing positive steering of the vehicle are that such systems are complicated, and thus more expensive. In addition the utilization of separate power supplies for separate drive trains to accomplish steering is costly to build, maintain and operate. All terrain vehicles are usually used in remote locations where fuel supplies, maintenance etc., are difficult to obtain, thus making fuel economy and system simplicity important operational factors.
A more positive method of steering such vehicles is provided by turning the wheels or tracks on the opposite sides of the vehicle in opposite directions. Odom U.S. Pat. No. 2,542,157 shows such a system. One power supply is used to transmit power through a split drive train to track mechanism on opposite sides of the vehicles. The Odom system utilizes three control levers for controlling the drive and steering functions of the vehicle. Odom for the most part, uses positively connected transfer devices such as intermeshing bevel gears to transmit power and motion through the drive train, which on all terrain vehicles is a disadvantage. Because of the excessive roughness to which such equipment is subjected in its normal use, it is extremely important to utilize power transmission devices that have a give or slack so that sudden forces applied to the power drive system do not cause excessive fatigue to the mechanisms transmitting the motion and power.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved drive and steering apparatus for an all terrain vehicle which will accomplish positive steering by providing means for rotating wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle in opposite directions, and which, by sufficiently simple design and construction will provide for low initial cost, minimize maintenance, accommodate the wear and tear of the hazardous environment in which such vehicles are operated, and utilize a traditional steering system to which operators of such vehicles have become accustomed.
With this and other objects in view the present invention contemplates a vehicle drive and steering apparatus having a first drive assembly for taking power from a power supply and rotating a first drive shaft. A second pair of drive shafts transmit rotative motion to wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle. A pair of control drive shafts, each having two power connection devices thereon, are arranged between the first and second drive shafts to be moved into mating power transmission contact with respective power connection devices on the first drive shaft. This movement is accomplished by levers on the vehicle which operate in the accustomed way for steering. Each set of the power connection devices on the first drive shaft and control drive shafts provides for different modes of power transmission whereby the mating contact of one such set of power connection devices causes rotation of vehicle wheels in one direction and mating contact of the other such set of power connection devices causes rotation of vehicle wheels in an opposite direction. Manipulation of the levers in a typical way causes wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle to operate in opposite directions to effect positive steering control of the vehicle.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a vehicle utilizing the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle taken along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1 showing a plan view of the interior drive mechanisms of the vehicle;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 3--3 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 is a detailed view of the mechanism providing dual modes of power connection between drive shafts.
Referring first to FIG. 1 of the drawings an all terrain vehicle and more particularly, in the embodiment described herein, a swamp buggy is shown having a frame 11 comprised of steel beams, channels, and plate material welded and bolted together in a unitary solid framework for supporting a body 12, seating apparatus 13, roll frame 14, and various other parts of the frame and body system not described in detail. An engine or power supply mechanism 16 is shown mounted at the rear of the frame 11 having an output shaft 17 upon which is mounted a sheave 18 for outputing power from the engine 16. A belt 19 transmits rotative motion from the sheave 18 to a sheave 21 mounted on a first drive shaft 22. Also mounted on the first drive shaft 22 is a sheave 23 for outputing rotative motion of shaft 22 through belt 24 to a driven sheave 26. Sheave 26 is mounted on a power control mechanism generally designated by the reference numeral 27. The power control mechanism includes a second drive shaft 28 upon which the sheave 26 is mounted, said shaft 28 being rotatably housed in a cylindrical bearing 29. The bearing 29 in turn is mounted on a vertical sleeve 31 that is movably mounted on the frame to provide for pivotal movement of the power control mechanism 27 in a horizontal plane. Control lever 32 is provided to control the pivotal movement of the control mechanism 27 and is connected thereto by means of a linkage 33 which is pivotally connected to the lever 32. Linkage 33 is adjustable to provide adjustments in the operation of the power control 27 and more particularly its positional relationship with first drive shaft 22. Sprocket 34 on the drive shaft 28 provides output rotative motion from the control drive 27 by means of a chain 36 connected to a sprocket 37. Sprocket 37 is connected by means of a shaft 38 to a sprocket 39 which in turn drives a chain 41 around sprockets 42 and 43 to axle 44 which rotates a rear wheel 50 of the vehicle. Another sprocket 46 on the shaft 44 drives a chain 47 which in turn is connected to a sprocket 48 mounted on axle 49 which rotates the front wheel 51 of the vehicle. The drive control mechanism and power transmitting apparatus for supplying power from the engine 16 to the wheels of the vehicle has been described for only one side of the vehicle. The opposite side works in exactly the same manner and is arranged in mirror image as best seen in FIG. 2. The two sides of the vehicle and the parts associated therewith may be referred to hereinafter as respective "left" and "right" sides. These terms are used for convenience only, and should not be construed in a limiting sense.
Now referring to FIG. 2 of the drawings, the drive train mechanism described with respect to FIG. 1 is shown in even greater detail in plan view so that the mechanisms for controlling power to opposite sides of the vehicle is clearly shown. The output shaft 17 from the motor 16 is shown having a pair of sheaves 18 mounted thereon driving dual V belts 19 to rotate the dual sheaves 21 on the first drive shaft 22. The drive shaft 22 is rotatably mounted on the vehicle frame by means of a bracket and bearing assembly 52. A pair of sheaves 23 are shown mounted in spaced apart positions on first drive shaft 22 to afford a first mode of power connection between the first drive shaft 22 and second drive shafts 28 on the drive control mechanisms 27. In addition, a pair of spaced apart drums 53 are mounted on shaft 22, which drums 53 have a frictional surface for engaging matingly arranged drums 54 on shafts 28. This arrangement of oppositely opposed drums 53 and 54 mounted on first and second drive shafts 22 and 28 respectively affords a second mode of power connection between the first and second drive shafts. By selective movement of drive control 27 the drums 53 and 54 may be engaged while the first mode of power connection, comprised of sheaves 23 and 26 on the first and second drive shafts respectively and belt 24, are simultaneously disengaged. A belt control arm 56 is positioned on the frame and arranged to position a projecting pin 57 above belt 24 to prevent the belt 24 from slipping off of the sheaves 23 and 26 when the apparatus is operated to disengage the mode of power connection represented by the sheaves 23, 26 and belt 24. In such mode of operation the belt 24 becomes slack on the sheaves and has a tendency to become misaligned therewith because of the pivotal rotation of shaft 28 about vertical sleeve 31.
Various other bearing and bracket assemblies are shown positioned throughout the power train of the vehicle to afford a holding connection between the vehicle frame and various shafts and sleeves mounted thereon and such assemblies will not be described in detail or referenced by numerals in this description. The mounting of sheaves, shafts, sprockets, and the like in this vehicle is done in a conventional manner unless otherwise described in detail.
Referring again to FIG. 2 in the drawings the second drive shafts or driven shafts 28 are rotated by one or the other of the alternate modes of power connection between the first drive shaft 22 and the second drive shafts 28. Rotation of shafts 28 thus rotates the sprockets 34 at the outward end of each of the shafts 28. Sprockets 34 in turn are connected by means of chains 36 to sprockets 37. The sprockets 37 in turn are shown driving smaller sprockets 39 mounted inwardly on shafts 38. Sprockets 39, by means of chains 41, drive output drive sprockets 43. Idler sprockets 42 maintain proper tension of the chain drives. The sprockets 43 are connected by means of axles 44 to rear wheels 50 on the vehicle to drive the rear wheels. Sprockets 46 also on axle 44 rotate chains 47 which pass around sprocket 48 to drive the front axles 49 and thereby rotate front wheels 51.
Next referring to FIG. 3 of the drawings, a cross-sectional endwise view of the vehicle control mechanism shows in greater detail how the control drive mechanism 27 is pivotally moved to bring the first and second modes of power connection into operation. As shown in FIG. 3, the second drive shafts 28 are mounted within sleeves 29 for rotation with respect thereto and are connected at their inward ends to sheaves 26 upon which are mounted laterally inwardly thereof, the frictional drums 54. Rotation of the shafts 28 causes rotation of output sprockets 34 which are connected, as described with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2, with the output drive train and ultimately to the wheels of the vehicle. A supporting pivot for sleeve 29 and shaft 28 is comprised of the sleeve 31 mounted rotatably about vertical post 59 which permits horizontal movement of the shaft 28 about the post 59. Such pivotal movement of shaft 28 alternatively engages the drum 54 with mating drum 53 on the first drive shaft or engages the V-belt 24 into the grooves of sheaves 24 and 26 to develop a second mode of power connection between the first and second drive shafts 22 and 28. It is noted that the sleeve 31 is eccentrically located along the length of bearing sleeve 29 so that a moment arm is developed with the linkage 33 being attached to the mechanism 27 inwardly from the pivot axis or post 59. This arrangement permits a small movement of the shaft 28 to effect a change in power connection modes and thus, because of the moment arm, a much smaller movement of sprocket 34. This prevents unnecessary slack in chain 36 in the drive chain to prevent wear of the chain and sprockets. Excessive lateral movement of shaft 28 is prevented by a stop which is formed by the bracket 58 best seen in FIG. 1. Vertical bolts or pins 55 mounted on bracket 58 on opposite sides of sleeve 29 limit the lateral movement of the sleeve 29 and shaft 28. Bracket 58 is connected to the frame by mounting plate 60.
Referring now to FIG. 4 of the drawings the alternative modes of power connection are shown in even greater detail wherein the frictional drums 53 and 54 are shown engaged, while the V-belt and sheave modes of power connection are disengaged. As shown in FIG. 4, a drum 53 is being rotated by the first drive shaft 22 in a clockwise direction. Frictional drum 53 is directly engaged with mating drum 54 on the second drive shaft 28 to drive the second drive shaft 28 in a counter-clockwise direction. However, manipulation of the lever 32 (FIG. 1) and connected linkage 33, causes the shaft 28 to pivot about the pivot post 59 only very slightly to disengage the mating frictional drums 53 and 54 and supply sufficient tension or separation between sheaves 23 and 26 to engage the V-belt 24 therein and rotate the shaft 28 in a clockwise direction. This alternative connection of power between the shafts 22 and 28 causes an opposite rotation than was accommodated by the power connection between the frictional drums.
It is thus seen that in order to control the vehicle, the pair of levers 32 may be moved simultaneously in the same direction forward to accommodate forward movement of the vehicle, be moved simultaneously rearwardly to afford backward movement of the vehicle, and may be oppositely moved; that is, one lever moved forward while the other is moved back to accommodate opposite rotation of the wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle to effect steering thereof.
To again summarize operations of the power drive herebefore described, the motor or engine 16 will rotate the output shaft 17 and sheaves 18 mounted thereon to drive the V-belts 19 to rotate sheaves 21. Sheaves 21 which are mounted on first drive shaft 22 rotate the sheave 23 and frictional drum 53 simultaneously. Mating sheaves 26 and drum 54 respectively on the second drive shaft 28 are alternatively and selectively connected in power connection with the sheave and drum respectively on the first drive shaft to transmit power from the first drive shaft 22 to second drive shaft 28. Rotation of the second drive 28 in turn causes rotation of sprockets 34 at the outward ends thereof which in turn drives chain 36, sprocket 37, shaft 38, sprocket 39, chain 41, sprocket 43, and axle 44, to drive the rear wheels. Another series of sprockets and chains 46, 47, and 48 drives front axle 49 and front wheels 51.
It can readily be seen that a variety of power connecting devices might be used in an application as described herein without varying from the true scope of this invention. For example, the pivotal arrangement of shaft 28 about the post 59 might be constructed so that the shaft 28 were pivoted about an axis parallel to the shaft 28 rather than perpendicular to it. Thus, by rotating the shaft 28 rearwardly towards the first drive shaft 22 the frictional drums would be brought into engagement and by movement of the frictional drums away from each other, the V-belt would be caused to embed itself into the grooves of the respective sheaves 23 and 26 to afford a power connection in a second mode. Another alternative arrangement of power connection might be afforded by providing an idler drum between the frictionally engaged drums 53 and 54 and thus by rotation of the shaft 28 about a parallel axis afford two modes of power connection between the shafts 22 and 28. Therefore, while particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described with respect to the drawings it is readily seen that other modifications and variations of the invention are possible in light of the above teachings and it is therefore understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.
