Filed: 1970-12-02
Abstract: 1320038 Positive clutches CREUSOTLOIRE 2 Dec 1970 [10 Dec 1969 10 Nov 1970] 57586/70 Heading F2C A clutch has a rotor 1 fast on a shaft 2 and a plate 4 supported by bearings 8 thereon. A disc 5 of magnetic material rotatable with the plate 4 is interposed and corresponding teeth 3 provide a positive drive when engaged. A coil 9 capable of energization with two increasing values of current is mounted in the rotor 1. On initial excitation of the coil 9 at a low value the plate 4 and disc 5 are drawn into frictional engagement with the rotor 1 against the action of return springs 6. Synchronization of the speeds of rotor 1 and plate 4 thus occurs upon which the excitation is increased to its higher value so that the teeth 3 engage. After engagement excitation may again be reduced. Other embodiments have differently shaped frictionally engageable parts, the coil may be in a stationary part and it may be arranged that the clutch is normally engaged by spring pressure and is released by current in the coil.

Title: Fluid pressure fluctuation absorbing proportioning valve
IPC: B60T11/34
Filed: 1978-09-12
Abstract: A proportioning valve 100 for a hydraulic brake system having a capability of preventing fluid pressure fluctuations comprises a spring biassed differential area piston 2, which opens and closes a cut off valve 9, 19 disposed in a braking fluid circuit from a master cylinder 101 to rear wheel brake cylinder(s) for performing fluid pressure regulation. The piston is designed such that the allowable stroke thereof is larger than necessary for the pressure regulating function, with the purpose of absorbing fluid pressure fluctuations in the rear wheel cylinder(s) while the braking pressure is below the set value at which the valve is effective as a proportioning valve. The bias is provided by a spring 16, which may be picked up by a piston flange 18 to be effective at higher pressures only. An air chamber 7 helps absorb pressure fluctuations.
