Claims51
A hub assembly for a carbon/carbon clutch comprising a hub, a first clutch plate, and retaining means mechanically releasably attachable to the first clutch plate thereby axially to define the position of the first clutch plate with respect to the hub wherein the first clutch plate is directly attachable to the hub.
A hub for a carbon/carbon clutch comprising a splined central aperture and a series of circumferentially spaced and radially protruding teeth, wherein the teeth are clustered in two or more spaced apart groups, and wherein one tooth in each group comprises a threaded bore.
A clutch plate for a carbon/carbon clutch comprising a central aperture for receiving a toothed hub, and a series of recesses each recess being adapted to co-operate with a hub tooth thereby to enable the clutch plate to be driven, wherein the recesses are clustered into two or more spaced apart groups, and wherein the clutch plate comprises a series of evenly spaced means to enable releasable attachment of a retaining ring to the clutch plate.
A clutch plate for a carbon/carbon clutch comprising a central aperture for receiving a toothed hub, and a series of recesses each recess being adapted to co-operate with a hub tooth thereby to enable the clutch plate to be driven, wherein the recesses are clustered into two or more spaced apart groups, wherein the clutch plate comprises a series of circumferentially evenly spaced apertures adapted to register with a series of apertures in a retaining ring thereby to enable attachment of the clutch plate and retaining ring.
