Description: |
Abstract:
This invention contemplates certain new and useful improvements in clutches for traction engines, and has special 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-gearing.
Claim:
The combination with a fly-wheel, its shaft, the sliding sleeve, and the pinion, of arms carried by and perpendicular to said sleeve, the shoes, and means permitting such io arms to move out of a perpendicular as the shoes are thrown out of engagement with the fly-wheel. |
