Title: A Silent, Shockless Clutch with a Locking Mechanism.
Inventor: BARDSLEY PERCY CROFTS
Filed: 1902-12-12
Granted: 1903-10-15
Abstract: 27,448. Bardsley, P. C. Dec. 12. Clutches applicable to the driving axle and pulley of a motor car or to other shafting and provided with a locking mechanism comprise the friction discs a keyed to the shaft b and the disc a<1> capable of sliding on the shaft. The faces of the discs are bevelled, forming a \/-shaped groove c in which is placed the ring d of leather, fibre, or metal, supported when out of action by the loose collar e. The ends of the ring d are connected by the bolt f<2>, Fig. 3. When the disc a' is caused to approach the disc a, the collar e enters a recess in the disc a<1>, and the two discs grip and expand the ring d, thereby conveying motion from the revolving shaft to the pulley g, to which the ring d is attached by the lug f<1>. The pnlley k is fastened to the screw-threaded sleeve k<1> which engages the screw on the sleeve i on the shaft, and also the flange a<2> of the disc a<1>. On applying a band brake to the pulley k, the rotation of the shaft causes the sleeve i and disc a<1> to approach the disc a, throwing the clutch into action. On releasing the brake the clutch is put out of action by centrifugal force. The driving and driven parts may be locked by the pins l on the disc n, which pass through holes in the pulley flange h and engage recesses m in the disc a.
