An accessory box for a gas turbine engine has an input gear to be driven by an input shaft. The input gear is engaged to drive a first driven gear on one radial side of a drive axis of the input gear. The first gear drives at least a second driven gear on one radial side of the drive axis, with at l
An accessory box for a gas turbine engine has an input gear to be driven by an input shaft. The input gear is engaged to drive a first driven gear on one radial side of a drive axis of the input gear. The first gear drives at least a second driven gear on one radial side of the drive axis, with at least one accessory driven by one of the first and second driven gears. The second driven gear drives a bevel gear arrangement to drive a third driven gear on an opposed side of the drive axis of the input gear. The third driven gear drives at least a second accessory. The accessories are associated with a gas turbine engine.

The accessory box as set forth in claim 5, wherein said second bevel gear is positioned to be intermediate a drive axis of said first bevel gear and third bevel gear and said input gear. 8. The accessory box as set forth in claim 5, wherein a gear fixed to rotate with said first bevel gear is driven by said second driven gear, and said third bevel gear is fixed to rotate with an another gear that drives said third driven gear. 9. The accessory box as set forth in claim 8, wherein the gear fixed to rotate with said first bevel gear is directly driven by said second driven gear, and said another gear fixed to rotate with said third bevel gear directly drives said third driven gear. 10. The accessory box as set forth in claim 1, wherein said third driven gear engages at least a fourth driven gear, and said third driven gear and said fourth driven gear each being associated to drive an accessory. 11. The accessory box as set forth in claim 1, wherein an outer diametric envelope of said input gear may be defined, and said opposed side of said drive axis is outside said diametric envelope. 12. The accessory box as set forth in claim 1, wherein said input gear is a bevel gear, said input gear driving a driven bevel gear associated with said first driven gear. 13. A gas turbine engine comprising: a compressor, a combustor and a turbine section;an accessory box having an input gear to be driven by an input shaft;said input gear engaged to drive a first driven gear on one radial side of a drive axis of said input gear;said first driven gear driving at least a second driven gear on said one radial side of said drive axis, with at least one accessory driven by one of said first driven gear and second driven gear;said second driven gear driving a bevel gear arrangement to drive a third driven gear on an opposed side of said drive axis of said input gear, and said third driven gear driving at least a second accessory; andsaid one accessory and said second accessory to be associated with a gas turbine engine. 14. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 13, wherein said bevel gear arrangement including a first bevel gear driven to rotate on said one radial side, said first bevel gear driving a second bevel gear, and said second bevel gear driving a third bevel gear, with said third bevel gear being on said opposed side of said drive axis, and with said first bevel gear being driven to rotate by said second driven gear, and said third bevel gear driving said third driven gear. 15. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 13, wherein a gear fixed to rotate with said first bevel gear is driven by said second driven gear, and said third bevel gear is fixed to rotate with an another gear that drives said third driven gear. 16. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 15, wherein the gear fixed to rotate with said first bevel gear is directly driven by said second driven gear, and said another gear fixed to rotate with said third bevel gear directly drives said third driven gear. 17. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 13, wherein an outer diametric envelope of said input gear may be defined, and said opposed side of said drive axis is outside said diametric envelope. 18. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 13, wherein said one accessory and said second accessory include at least a starter for selectively starting the gas turbine engine. 19. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 18, wherein said one accessory and said second accessory also include a generator for generating electricity from rotation of the turbine section. 20. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 18, wherein said one accessory and said second accessory also include a lube pump and a fuel pump for supplying lubrication and fuel to the gas turbine engine.
