Abstract: A clutch device comprising a first member, a second member, a race member, and a slipper member. The first member (12) has a first conic surface and the second member (3) has a second conic surface (6) generally opposed to the first conic surface. The race member (13) is fixed to the first conic surface of said first member and the slipper (11) is positioned adjacent the second conic surface of the second member. The race and the slipper members have complementary projections (20, 22) to define pockets into which rollers (14) are arranged. The axial relationship of the first and second members is adjustable to control mating between the slipper (11) and the second conic surface (6) of the second member and thereby enable or prevent torque transmission between the first and second members.
