Rotary machines. - Relates to self - releasing reversing clutches especially adapted for use in newspaper rotary web printing machines, in which the auxiliary starting motors are thrown out of action as the main motors eventually attain their normal driving speed. The reversing clutches a, a', Fig. 1, mounted by sliding feathers upon a cylindrical sleeve, and carrying the power gear from the starting motor -haft between them, have saw-shaped teeth adapted to engage with similar teeth of the driven clutches c, c<1> fixedly mounted upon the main shaft x or geared thereto by suitable gearing. The clutches a, a' are controlled by the bell-crank levers e, which engage projections f and are operated by the solenoids d, in electrical connection with the controlling-apparatus used for the system of motor driving. As the solenoid d rises and engages the clutches a, c, the auxiliary motor drives the main shaft x through the central worm shaft and worm shaft b, the slot g<1> of the connecting rod g preventing the simultaneous engagement of the clutches a<1>, c<1>. As a modification, the clutches a, a' may be made in one central sliding piece and the cores o of the solenoids d may be connected by a normally horizontal triangular frame k, Fig. 3. As the left hand core rises, the end l of the triangular frame will be lifted to l<1> and the point of attachment of the rod n will rise to m'. The rod n is thus alternately given a right and left handed to-and-fro side motion which is communicated to the sliding clutch. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the operating rod n is connected to the end of an internal rod p fitted with a cottar q which passes through a slot in the axle t and engages in the body of the double faced clutch a. The clutch is enclosed by a casing c<2> forming a double toothed clutch c, c' which is fixedly keyed to the end of the machine shaft s. The shaft s receives directly the motion of the shaft t operated by the auxiliary motor through the wheel r which transmits motion in one direction or the other. Frictional, jamming, or other driving means may be substituted for the clutch teeth.
