    摘要: A drive system may provide centrifugally driven clutch members into engagement and disengagement using weights between an interface of the clutch members. The weights maybe disposed in races between the clutch members. The weights may move centrifugally within the races pushing the clutch members apart during rotation of an input drive shaft. In some embodiments, two clutch members may provide the engagement and disengagement of the input drive shaft power to a drive output member and a third clutch member may be configured to engage the two clutch members during drive engagement. The third clutch member may be configured to disengage from the two clutch members as a failsafe during, for example, an overspeed condition or a jammed clutch interface.

    摘要: A synchronized clutch for coupling a driven element to a drive element includes an externally activated nonpositive coupling, and a positive coupling which engages automatically when the driven element achieves a designated operational state. The nonpositive coupling, preferably comprising at least one friction element permitting some slippage between the drive and driven elements, accelerates the driven element to a velocity which at least approaches synchronization of the drive and driven elements. The positive coupling preferably comprises a sliding drive ring which is responsive to centrifugal weights to positively couple the drive and driven elements at a designated velocity. The external forces actuating the nonpositive coupling are preferably applied manually through a lever. Provision is preferably made for the automatic disengagement of the clutch when the velocity of the driven element decreases below a designated velocity.

    摘要: A starting device for an engine wherein a drive shaft associated with a starting motor is connected through a one-way clutch to a pinion gear for driving a ring gear of the engine. The device comprises a first sleeve slidably fitted on the drive shaft, a second sleeve slidably fitted on the first sleeve, a drive clutch member for the one-way clutch slidably fitted on the second sleeve, and a buffer spring between the first sleeve and the one-way clutch. The first helical spline between the drive shaft and the first sleeve imparts a great forward thrust to the pinion gear by utilization of the turning force of the drive shaft into complete engagement with the ring gear so as to positively drive the latter. An excessive load may be absorbed by compressive deformation of the buffer spring.
