Patent CA-2540226-A1 (CA)
Title: Centrifugal clutch
Inventor: CHEVALIER JOHN PHILLIP
IPC: F16D43/16
Filed: 2001-03-15
Abstract: A centrifugal clutch for coupling a drive shaft (11) to a driven member (13) at rotary speeds above a predetermined threshold, comprising: a centrifugal slider (15) with a massive enlargement (155) at one end and a first coupling formation (156) preferably at the other end; a frame (12) formed to carry the centrifugal slider on formations (121, 122, 123, 124) to constrain it to sliding motion between an extended radial position and a retracted radial position, and to fit on the drive shaft to be driven by it, with the shaft at right-angles to the axis of sliding motion of the frame; an output drive member mountable for free rotation on the drive shaft and formed for driving engagement with the driven member in use, and formed with a second coupling formation (131) which connects drivingly with the first only when the centrifugal slider is at its extended position; and means (16) preferably located wholly within a recess (151 ) in the centrifugal slider, for biasing the centrifugal slider toward its retracted position; whereby rotation of the centrifugal slider and frame causes the massive enlargement to pull the centrifugal slider radially from its retracted to its extended radial position to cause the first (155) and second coupling arrangements to interengage and thus to transmit rotary drive from the drive shaft to the driven member, but the biasing means causes disengagement when the rotation ceases, so as to decouple the drive shaft from the driven member.

Abstract: A conductor for an aerial element of an aerial that has a contact range for a high-frequency source and which is folded back at least once in order to shorten its longitudinal extension, thus having at least two conductor sections with one axis of extension, respectively. The conductor sections are preferably coordinated with each other in a parallel-spaced manner by means of a connecting piece. The first conductor section extends into space, starting from the contact range, and the second, folded-back conductor section extends in the direction of the contact range. The first and the second conductor section set up a conductor plane.  The first conductor section proceeds in an alternating manner around its axis of extension. The task of the invention is to produce a conductor for a preferably small single or multifrequency band aerial, as well as suitable aerials for mobile telecommunications in one or in several frequency bands. The problem is solved by a conductor which is characterized by the fact that at least one conductor section proceeds around its axis of extension in an alternating manner and has a monopole and a dipole aerial with such a conductor.
