Abstract

576,840. Friction clutches. FAWICK, T. L. Sept. 20, 1943, No. 15405. [Class 80 (ii)] Centrifugal clutch members 25 are mounted on torque transmitting bodies 24 of resiliently deformable material, such as rubber, which is radially preloaded in compression to increase the resistance to radially outward movement of the adjacent portions of the centrifugal members. As shown. in one form, the centrifugal members 25 have facings engageable with the inner face 10a of a driven drum 10, and are pivoted on conical rubber bushes 24 on bolts 20 carried by a ring 17 on a driving member 13. A nut 23 on each bolt 20 compresses the rubber axially. Springs 31 may assist declutching. In a modification, radially movable centrifugal members, urged inwardly by springs, are interlocked at each end with rubber members which may be cylindrical or wedge shape. The contacting faces of the rubber members may have metal facings adhered thereto.
