Description:
Abstract:

This invention relates to clutches for traction-engines, and has reference to that class wherein the shoes are thrown into and out of engagement with the flywheel by the longitudinal movement of the sleeve carrying the pinion which meshes with the traction-wheel gearing. The object of the invention is to provide in a clutch of this character improved means for overcoming all binding of the shoes when the clutch is thrown out of operation.

Claim:

The combination with a fly-wheel, its shaft, the sliding sleeve, and the pinion, of rigid arms carried by such sleeve and extending therefrom at right angles, the shoes on t5 the arms, and means intermediate each shoe and its supporting-arm for permitting the shoes to move at right angles to the arms.
