Abstract

534,220. Friction clutches. NATIONAL MACHINERY CO. July 31, 1939, No. 22197. Convention date, Nov. 18, 1938. [Class 80 (ii)] In a friction-clutch and flywheel assembly, the clutch members and the flywheel bearings are cooled by air drawn in through passages 46, formed between the hub of the flywheel 7 and an axially extending web 20 spaced radially therefrom, the passages 46 communicating with radial passages formed by ribs 24, which act as a blower. The spokes 8 of the flywheel are formed with thin radial webs 19, 29 between which air flows outwards. The flywheel turns on spaced ball-bearings 10. 11 on the driven shaft 5. The ribs 24 are formed on a radial wall 21, which receives the thrust of the axially movable clutch-plates 25, 27, 28 between which are located clutch-discs 31 splined on the shaft 5. The outer clutch-plate 28 is formed integral wtih a piston 41 sliding in a cylinder 39. to which pressure-fluid is admitted by a pipe 42 for effecting engagement of the clutch against the action of springs 43, 44. The wall 21 is formed with a cylindrical flange 22 having inwardly projecting ribs 26, which define a cylindrical recess, in which the clutch-members are accommodated. A baffle-plate 16 prevents the cooling-air, which may contain dust, oil &c. from reaching the friction-surfaces of the clutch members. Air is also drawn in through openings 37 and past the outer edges of the clutch-plates.
