[List of Patents for class 74 subclass 5]    5GYROSCOPES:
 This subclass is indented under the class definition.  Devices defined in (1) Note, below and known as gyroscopes.
(1) Note. A conventional gyroscope is a mechanism comprising a rotor journaled to spin about one axis, the journals of the rotor being mounted in an inner gimbal or ring, the inner gimbal being journaled for oscillation in an outer gimbal which in turn is journaled for oscillation relative to a support. The outer gimbal or ring is mounted so as to pivot about an axis in its own plane determined by the support. Hence the outer gimbal possesses one degree of rotational freedom and its axis possesses none. The inner gimbal is mounted in the outer gimbal so as to pivot about an axis in its own plane which axis is always normal to the pivotal axis of the outer gimbal. Hence the inner gimbal possesses two degrees of rotational freedom and its axis possesses one. The rotor is journaled to spin about an axis which is always normal to the axis of the inner gimbal. Hence the rotor possesses three degrees of rotational freedom and its axis possesses two. The center of gravity of the rotor is thus in a fixed position. The rotor simultaneously spins about one axis and is capable of oscillating about the two other axes, and thus except for its inherent resistance due to rotor spin, it is free to turn in any direction about the fixed point.
Some gyroscopes have mechanical equivalents substituted for one or more of the elements, e.g., the spinning rotor may be suspended in a fluid, instead of being pivotally mounted in gimbals. In some special cases, the outer gimbal (or its equivalent) may be omitted so that the rotor has only two degrees of freedom. In other cases, the center of gravity of the rotor may be offset from the axis of oscillation, and thus the center of gravity of the rotor and the center of suspension of the rotor may not coincide.
(2) Note. This is the generic locus for gyroscopes. Every rotating body has gyroscopic action, but such devices are not placed here unless at least one axis of oscillation is present.
(3) Note. For combinations of gyroscopes with other devices see indented subclass 5.22 and the notes thereto appended.

(1) Note. EXPLANATORY NOTE: This and indented subclasses represents an initial step toward gathering together the "indexing" or "turret" art hitherto distributed on the basis of the disclosed associated operations. Pertinent subclasses from Classes 29 and 90 have been screened to provide the necessary art for initial classification. Integration with the preceding subclasses (10+) of this class (74), now limited to electronic tuning shafts, is contemplated in the future. Similarly, as other appropriate bodies of art are screened, such art as meets the above definition will be classified here and so noted below as well as in the Notes to said bodies of art.
(2) Note. The Notes under subclass 10 of this class (74) must be studied for both the line with other classes and for fields of search inasmuch as they apply with equal force to this and indented subclasses.
(2) Note. Where, in addition to means for applying torque and means for preventing rotation, the turret structure to hold either work or tool is recited in the claims the art is deemed to go beyond the scope of this and indented subclasses (813+).
(4) Note. The term "turret", per se, is considered equivalent to "rotatably mounted device". Included in this and indented subclasses (813+) are assemblies wherein a rotatably mounted device or "turret" is recited as a named load on a shaft. The inclusion of tool or work holding means on said load is sufficient to bar classification here (813+) and such combinations are classified on the basis of associated operations. For example; "a tool holding turret" is properly classified here, while "a turret with tool holding means" or "a turret with screw means to hold a work piece is not.
