ABSTRACT:
A mechanical drive clutch is provided for mounting on a rotatable shaft. The drive clutch includes a drive gear having a plurality of gear teeth projecting therefrom. A sleeve is slidably mounted on the shaft for rotational movement therewith. The sleeve includes a plurality of gear engagement recesses therein of arcuate lengths greater than the predetermined arcuate lengths of the gear teeth. The sleeve is moveable between a first retracted position and a second engaged position wherein the gear teeth are received within corresponding gear engagement recesses in the sleeve in order to translate rotation of the drive gear to the shaft. A plurality of anti-backlash elements are provided to compensate for the difference in the arcuate lengths of gear teeth and their corresponding gear engagement recesses in the sleeve.
