ABSTRACT:
A speed-limiting accessory drive system and apparatus therefor for the transmission of torque and diversion and dissipation of excess energy from a prime mover, such as liquid-cooled internal combustion engine, to a cluster of accessories associated therewith utilizing a speed-responsive mechanism wherein the mechanism is comprised of two drum-shaped driving and driven members which simultaneously provide bearing journalling support and frictional engagement one with the other. One form of the invention utilizes a centrifugally partially disengaging speed-responsive mechanism so that regardless of the driving members speed above a predetermined control speed, the driven member is substantially maintained at that control speed thereby driving the accessories at a desired maximum speed. Another form of the invention utilizes a centrifugally engaging speed-responsive mechanism whereby the mechanism remains effectively disengaged at the cranking speeds of the engine, but engages at idling speeds for driving the accessories. Noise suppression for the system as well as lubrication and heat dissipation of the speed responsive mechanism are provided by circulation of the engine's coolant throughout the sealed speed-responsive mechanism.
