Clutch housing with wide lever spring retention slots and clutch housing with axially off-set tabs

A clutch assembly, comprising:

• an axis of rotation;
• an outer clutch housing including:
• a first housing wall;
• a first plurality of openings in the first housing wall, each opening in the first plurality of openings bound by a first respective continuous edge;
• and,
• a second plurality of openings in the first housing wall, each opening in the second plurality of openings bound by a second respective continuous edge;
• an inner clutch housing including:
• a second housing wall;
• a first plurality of protrusions, each protrusion in the first plurality of protrusions:
• extending outward in a radial direction, orthogonal to the axis of rotation, from the second housing wall;
• and,
• including a respective portion disposed in a respective first opening from the first plurality of openings and in contact with the first continuous edge of the respective first opening;
• and,
• a second plurality of protrusions, each protrusion in the second plurality of protrusions:
• extending outward in the radial direction from the second housing wall;
• located further in the axial direction than the first plurality of protrusions;
• and,
• including a respective portion disposed in a respective second opening from the second plurality of openings;
• a lever spring including:
• a third plurality of protrusions:
• extending outward in the radial direction;
• and,
• including respective portions disposed in the first plurality of openings and in contact with the first respective continuous edges;
• and,
• a fourth plurality of protrusions:
• extending outward in the radial direction;
• and,
• including respective portions:
• disposed in the second plurality of openings;
• and,
• in contact with the respective portions of the second plurality of protrusions and second respective continuous edges.

A clutch assembly comprising:

• an axis of rotation;
• an outer clutch including:
• a first housing wall;
• a first opening penetrating and passing through the first housing wall;
• and,
• a second opening penetrating and passing through the first housing wall;
• an inner clutch housing including:
• a second housing wall;
• a first protrusion:
• extending outward in a radial direction, orthogonal to the axis of rotation, from the second housing wall;
• and,
• including a portion disposed in the first opening;
• a second protrusion:
• extending outward, in the radial direction, from the first housing wall;
• located further in an axial direction, parallel to the axis of rotation, than the first protrusion;
• and,
• including a portion disposed in the second opening;
• a lever spring including:
• a third protrusion:
• extending outward in the radial direction;
• and,
• including a portion at least partially disposed in the first opening;
• and,
• a fourth protrusion:
• extending outward in the radial direction;
• and,
• including a portion at least partially disposed in the second opening;
• and,
• a clutch pack including a plurality of protrusions extending outward in the radial direction and at least partially disposed in the second opening.
