Abstract
591,429. Clutches. SMITH & SONS (ENGLAND), Ltd., S., and MEREDITH, F. W. May 4, 1945, No. 11451. [Class 80 (ii)] A clutch, particularly for coupling control surfaces of an aircraft to operating servomotors, comprises members 16, 24 on shafts 13 and 20 respectively which are coupled together by balls 40 moving in radial channels 18 in the member 16 and engaging the inclined surfaces of an annual series of teeth 25 on the member 24. The balls 40 are held in engaging position by further balls 41 and a thrust plate 31 acted upon by a ring 34 and a fork 35 from a shaft 36 with an operating lever 38. The arrangement of the balls 40 and 41 is such that there is always an axial component of the force transmitted acting to move the balls 41 axially with the assistance of springs 43 to disengage the clutch. This action is opposed by a torsion spring 39 acting upon shaft 36 until disengagement is required.
