Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 8026. Rich, C. C. April 5. Clutches.-An hydraulic clutch of the vane type is provided with valves for controlling the admission and discharge of fluid, with an air-valve, and with positive clutching-means. Figs. 2 and 4 show the rotor casing 6 secured to the fly-wheel 2. A fluidchamber 25 is separated from the rotor chamber by a partition 7. Within the rotor chamber 24 is placed the rotor 26 secured to the driven shaft 35 and carrying vanes 29, opposite pairs of which are connected by sliding rods 28 acting through plates 31 and springs 33. The springs bear on heads 34 provided with perforations 34<a>. The rotor chamber 24 is eccentric to the axis of the driven shaft and communicates by ports 52, 53 with delivery and suction chambers 22, 23. The delivery chamber is provided with three valves 58, 59, 60, Fig. 3, operated from the sliding sleeve 39 by a ring 70<a>, forked lever 68, 65, and cross-bar 67. The small valve 59 is so arranged that it is operated first to relieve the compression in the chamber 22 and make the operation of the valves 58, 60 easier. Springs 64 hold the valves to their seats. At the time that the valves 58, 59, 60 are being opened, the suction valve 72, Figs. 12 and 6, is being closed by a lever 73. Simultaneously with the movement of the lever 73, a wheel 82 operates a rack 81 controlling the movement of the valve 77. This valve controls the passage of air through the port 76, Fig. 7, from the centre of the chamber 25 to the suction chamber 23. The ports 52, 53 are inclined as shown in Figs. 3 and 7, to equalize wear on the rotor blades. To secure positive engagement between the rotor casing and the driven shaft, the clutch mechanism illustrated in Fig. 9 is used. The sleeve 36 is slidably keyed to the shaft 35, Fig. 2, and carries dogs 38 engaging with dogs 21 on a plate 20 which is secured to the plate 7, Fig. 2, by lugs 20<a>. When the valves 58, 59, 60 are in the closed position, the drive may be taken up by the dogs 38, 21.
