Abstract
The invention is directed to an adjustable clutch or torque control device. The adjustable clutch or torque control device includes a flywheel with an at least one shoe or friction transfer device and an at least one adjustment mechanism and an at least one spring member. A portion of the at least one adjustment mechanism exists within the flywheel such that it is adjusted without the removal of the clutch bell or the disassembly of the clutch and adjusts the at least one spring member so that it changes a point of engagement of the at least one shoe or friction transfer device.
Claims26
An adjustable clutch or torque control device comprising:
- a flywheel at least one shoe or friction transfer device;
- an at least one adjustment mechanism;
- and
- at least one spring member, wherein a portion of the at least one adjustment mechanism exists within the flywheel such that it is adjusted without the removal of the clutch bell or the disassembly of the clutch and adjusts the at least one spring member so that it changes a point of engagement of the at least one shoe or friction transfer device.
An adjustable clutch or torque control device comprising:
- a flywheel;
- an at least one shoe or friction transfer device;
- and
- at least one spring member, wherein a portion of the spring or an extension of the spring penetrates the plane of the flywheel where it intersects or is acted upon by a device which effects the tension of the at least one spring member and is adjustable by a user without disassembly of the adjustable clutch or torque control device.
An adjustable clutch or torque control device comprising:
- a flywheel;
- at least one shoe or friction transfer device;
- and
- at least one spring member, wherein a portion of a spring tension control mechanism penetrates out from the plane of the flywheel and intersects with the at least one spring member or any extension of the at least one spring member and is acted upon to effect the tension of the at least one spring member without disassembly of the flywheel, the at least one shoe or friction transfer device, or the at least one spring member.
