improvements in devices for low temperature elastic clutch debrayage in practice of pumps, compressors, and generators for diesel engines

摘要

A friction clutch-resilient coupling has a clutch input, a disk as coupling output and a hydraulically operated movable clutch member which is also the input for the coupling. The coupling includes plural, coaxial, sleeve-rubber-sleeve elements distributed in annularly arranged apertures of the disk and having their inner sleeves bolted to the clutch member. Specific examples of such assemblies are explained with reference to a double cone friction clutch and a twin friction disk clutch, having two movable clutch members as well as two such disks. The resilient elements are always biased tending to disengage the clutch.
