ABSTRACT:
A clutch construction comprising inner and outer relatively rotatable members, and a flexible friction band interposed between said members. A plurality of separate elements are interposed circumferentially between the band and the inner member in abutting engagement with one another and otherwise being independent of each other. Force applying means is provided and is operable in response to rotation of one of said members to act on said elements and urge them radially outwardly and circumferentially to maintain said elements in abutting engagement not withstanding said radially outward movement thereof. After engagement, and upon overrunning by the other member or upon reduction in the speed of rotation of the one member, disengaging means on the one member acts on the band to disengage the drive.
