Abstract

881,948. Friction clutches. DUNLOP RUBBER CO. Ltd. March 27, 1958 [April 16, 1957], No. 12337/57. Class 80 (2). An hydraulically actuated friction clutch has the centrifugal pressure of the liquid in the apply chambers opposed by applying centrifugally induced pressure to the opposite side of the actuating pistons to ensure rapid disengagement of the clutch, or to effect disengagement, on removal of the operating pressure. As shown, an input disc 1 is engageable by friction pads 13 actuated by pistons 15 slidable in cylinders 14 fast with an output shaft 10. The clutch is engaged by supplying pressure liquid through a rotary joint 28 and a conduit 16 to apply chambers 29. A secondary cylinder 20, fast with the output shaft, is connected by a conduit 21 to chambers 27 and has a plunger 22 urged outwardly centrifugally when the output shaft rotates so that the chambers 27 are pressurized to counteract centrifugal pressure in the apply chambers 29. The pressure in chambers 27 can be varied by varying the weight of plunger 22 or the bore of conduit 21, so that the pressure may neutralize that in chamber 29 or may be sufficient to retract the pistons when chambers 29 are opened to exhaust. The output shaft may be balanced by providing two sets of clutch cylinders in diametrically-opposed relation, alternatively a counterweight may be provided.
