Patent GB-2192035-A (GB)
Title: Screw coupled connectors
Inventor: DUNCAN WILLIAM CHAMBERS WILSON
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 1986-05-12
Abstract: A screw-coupled connector comprises two coupling parts which are capable of being secured together by the rotation of an internally screw-threaded nut (3) carried on one of the parts, in which the said part includes a sleeve (6) which is rotatable independently of the nut, the sleeve (6) carrying a plunger (8) which is capable of being moved axially under spring pressure in order to enter a hole (12) on the nut when the sleeve and nut are suitably aligned, the said plunger when in the hole serving to drive the nut (3) and also press a ball (14) against an inclined plane (17) on a friction ring (16). When the parts of the coupling are fully secured together, the nut (3) will be moved through a small radial distance with respect to the friction ring (16), this will displace the ball (14), move the plunger (8) from the hole (12) and disengage the drive from the sleeve (6) to the nut (3). The sudden free rotation of the sleeve (6) that appears upon tightening the coupling is a clear indication that full engagement of the parts has been effected.

Patent GB-2182748-A (GB)
Title: Clutch control system
Inventor: TODD ROBERT EDMUND
IPC: F16D48/06
Filed: 1986-11-07
Abstract: A clutch control system for a motor vehicle comprises an electric ('M') for moving the vehicle clutch pedal between an engaged position (full drive) and a disengaged position (no drive), an electronic circuit for controlling drive of said motor ('M') and consequently movement of the clutch pedal, and a manually- operable electric switch ('S') controlling the state of the electronic circuit. On actuation of the switch ('S') and with the engine speed below a first predetermined value, the motor ('M') is actuated to draw the clutch pedal into its disengaged position, an increase in engine speed towards a second predetermined value thereafter resulting in gradual return of the clutch pedal towards its engaged position and in accordance with said increase in engine speed. The circuit may be inhibited from actuation by a switch I responsive to road speed above a critical value or to movement of the gear selector to a forward gear higher than first. Brake activation may be sensed and cause a reduced rate of clutch engagement. <IMAGE>
