Abstract

993,605. Friction clutches. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Dec. 10, 1963 [Dec. 13, 1962], No. 48731/63. Heading F2C. In a centrifugal friction clutch of the kind wherein segmental friction shoes 8, 9 carried by an output drum 5 are biased by springs 16, 17 into engagement with an input drum 3 and are released therefrom by centrifugal force to maintain the output drum at a predetermined speed, additional masses 18, 19 are selectively connected to the shoes 8, 9 to vary the predetermined speed. Latch plates 28 carried by studs 30, 31 on the additional masses 18, 19 are moved upward by electromagnetically controlled levers 35 to engage under lips 26, 27 on the shoes 8, 9 to connect the additional masses to the shoes for conjoint centrifugal action. The additional masses are biased radially inward by weak springs.
