Abstract

456,925. Friction clutches. BORGWARNER CORPORATION, 310, South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Wemp, E. E. ; 746, Collingwood Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.) Aug. 9, 1935, Nos. 22465 and 22466. Convention dates, Aug. 10, 1934 and Aug. 2, 1935. [Class 80 (ii)] The radial disengaging levers 20 of the plate clutch of a motor vehicle, which act on the presser plate 15 and are fulcrumed on the cover plate 3 secured to the engine flywheel 2, have weighted outer ends 24 so arranged that, upon increase of engine speed, centrifugal action augments the pressure of the engaging springs 16 on the plate 15, these springs being of such a strength that the torque capacity of the clutch due solely thereto is slightly in excess of the maximum engine torque. The additional torque capacity due to the centrifugal action corresponds to that transmitted to the clutch due to dissipation of kinetic energy upon a reduction in speed. Each lever 20 is pivotally connected to a bifurcated driving lug 17 of the plate 15 through a needle roller bearing 22, and has an aperture 32 which receives both a pin 33 fixed in a bifurcated bracket 30 secured to the cover plate 3 and a loose roller 35 bearing against a flat side 34 of the pin 33. The clutch withdrawal sleeve 9 co-operates with screws 37 adjustably mounted in the inner ends of the levers.
