ABSTRACT:
An inertia operated clutch has a rotatable input member and coaxially rotatable output member, with a torque transmitting member which has a mass member connected thereto and a spring biasing the mass member to move the torque transmitting member to one of the torque transmitting or disengaged positions. The mass member is mounted such that angular acceleration of the input member above a predetermined rate causes inertia of the mass to overcome the biasing force of the spring to move the torque transmitting member to the other of the torque transmitting or non-torque transmitting position.
