ABSTRACT:
A manually operated clutch adjusting mechanism has a worm and gear sector drive connection between the manual pedal and the operating cable. The cable urges the gear sector to rotate about its axis when a clutch adjustment is necessary. Rotation of the sector gear causes linear movement of the worm which is connected to a one-way linear to rotary motion transfer mechanism. The linear movement of the worm results in rotation of the worm and therefore the sector gear. The rotation of the sector gear induced by the worm gear is in the same direction as that urged by the cable and therefore reduces the clutch load on the cable and adjusts the clutch accordingly.
