Abstract

820,103. Operating clutches. EATON AXLES Ltd. Oct. 30, 1957 [Jan. 14, 1957], No. 33894/57. Class 80 (2). [Also in Groups XXXI and XXXVII] A tandem-axle drive for a vehicle comprises a continuously driven front axle 12 that drives a rear axle 14 through a clutch 52, or the like, which is automatically controlled by means responsive to the speed of the vehicle. A shaft 42 on which is a freely-rotating pinion 40, that meshes with a pinion 38 fixed to a shaft 20 driving the crown wheel 28 of the front axle 14 can transmit drive to the rear axle 14 when a dog-clutch 52 splined to the shaft 42 engages the wheel 40. The clutch 52 is operated by a reversible electric motor 70 moving a lever 60 to spring-biased positions where it either engages or disengages the clutch components, as required. A governor 76 driven from the vehicles propeller shaft 21, operates a two-way switch 96, which causes the motor 70 to disengage the clutch 52 when the vehicle's speed rises above a predetermined amount and to engage the clutch when the speed falls below it. Additional switches 102 and 104 operated from the lever 60 switch off the motor after each of its operations is completed. A manually-operated switch may be included in the electric circuit so that the motor and the clutch can be operated independently of the vehicle's speed, if desired.
