Abstract

799,874. Friction clutches. PRACHAR, C. Sept. 28, 1956 [Oct. 5, 1955; March 31, 1956], No. 29746/56. Class 80 (2). In an automatic clutch having centrifugally controlled engagement and disengagement for starting and stopping and an electromagnetic device for declutching when gear changing a flywheel 2, mounted on a driving shaft 3 carries the windings 4 of an electromagnet. An armature plate 5 is arranged to be axially slidable and to rotate with the flywheel 2 by means of the rods 6, 61 and is normally loaded by springs 8 against an abutment 10 on a non-magnetic sleeve 11 fixed to the flywheel 2. A clutch disc 13 is slidably keyed to a driven shaft 16 and a pressure plate 17 rotates integrally with the flywheel 2 by means of radial pins 20 engaged in slots 21 in the sleeve 11. The pressure plate 17 is formed with radial apertures 18 housing balls 19 and formed with a bevel 27. A dished member 26 is adjustably secured to the sleeve 11 by bolts 28 and spring-loaded pistons 23 in the sleeve 11 engage the pins 20 and keep the pressure plate 17 engaged with the dished member 26, the balls 19 contacting a conical surface 25 on member 26. The windings 4 of the electromagnet are fed from the conductor 33 through brush 34 to the insulated conducting sleeve 36 secured to member 26 and then through a conducting blade 38 and an insulated conductor 39. The circuit is controlled by a switch which is closed only when the accelerator pedal 43 is inoperative and a switch which is closed on movement of the gear lever 45. With the electromagnet not energized an increase in speed of the driving shaft 3 causes centrifugal force to throw the balls 19 outwards and force the pressure plate to the left engaging the clutch. For gear changing energization of the electromagnet attracts the armature 5 to the left and disengages the clutch. In an alternative arrangement the circuit can be controlled by the charging current supplied by the engine dynamo. The armature 5 may also be damped by the use of internal and external packing rings to create an air chamber supplied by an orifice and a lever may be fitted to lock the pressure plate 17 into engagement. A free wheel device may be fitted to lock the clutch in the engaged position to enable the engine to be used as a brake or hold the vehicle on a slope.
