Abstract
859,651. Friction clutches. SOC. D'APPAREILS DE CONTROLE ET D'EQUIPEMENT DES MOTEURS S.A.C.E.M. March 26, 1959 [April 3, 1958], No. 10673/59. Class 80 (2). A centrifugal friction clutch for motorassisted pedal cycles wherein spring-retracted centrifugal masses 14, 15 pivoted between plates 19, 20 fast with the driving shaft 6, acts on levers 16, 17 carrying friction segments 18 which are moved radially by the masses 14, 15 at a predetermined speed into engagement with a drum 9 fast with the output shaft 4, has arms 16a, 17a fast with the levers 16, 17 which are engaged by the masses 14, 15 when the latter are retracted by springs 23 to engage the clutch when the engine is stopped, thus permitting push starting. The clearance between the arms 16a, 17a and the levers 16, 17 is greater than the width of the masses, thus permitting the masses to occupy an intermediate position when the engine is idling, with the clutch disengaged. The levers 16,17 may be arranged, as shown, so that there is a wedging between the drum 9 and friction segment 18 during push starting and the arms 16a, 17a may be weighted (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown) to facilitate disengagement during idling. Apertures 13 in the casing 5 permit the circulation of air.
