Abstract

872,676. Friction clutches. BORG-WARNER CORPORATION. April 8, 1958, No. 10994/58. Class 80 (2). [Also in Group XXXIV] In a fluid-pressure engaged friction clutch or brake, positive clearance when disengaged, between a driven disc 42 and axially fixed and movable driving back and pressure plates 26, 28 respectively, is maintained by a thrust washer 70 secured to the back-plate 26 and having limited axial clearance on the hub of the disc 42. The disengaged clearance maintained between the driven disc 42 and the pressure plate 28 is greater than that between disc 42 and back-plate 26, so that on engagement the disc 42 is flexed out of its flat form to store release-assisting energy. Circumferentially grooved cork facings are bonded to the driven disc 42 which is also radially slotted. Tangential spring strips anchor the pressure plate 28 to the driving casing 22. The back-plate 26 also carries thrust plate 71 supporting axially hub 59 of the turbine of an hydrodynamic torque converter which drives the clutch-driven shaft in parallel through a one-way clutch. Adjusting shims are provided at the attachment of the thrust plates 70, 71 to the back-plate 26.
