SAFETY FRICTION CLUTCH Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: carriers 5 with pressure springs 7 put on them are anchored on drive half-clutch 1. Bosses 6 attached to blocks 4 are put on carriers. Flexible friction members 3 are installed on clocks 4. They are pressed with springs 7 against inner surface of half-clutch 2 mounted concentrically on half-clutch 1. Carriers 5 with springs 7 are placed perpendicular with respect to lateral axis of symmetry of members 3 on side of running-on end. Torque between half-clutches 1 and 2 is transferred during operation due to friction between inner surface of half-clutch 2 and members 3. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of clutch. 2 dwg
