ABSTRACT:
A centrifugal clutch has a clutch boss including a hub fixed to a drive shaft, several guides that extend radially from the hub, and clutch shoe retaining flanges that extend radially outward from each of the guides. The centrifugal clutch also has a clutch drum disposed coaxially with the clutch boss and is rotatable about the driving shaft independently from the clutch boss. Clutch shoes are slidably fitted to the guides in a radial direction of the clutch boss, and a spring biases each clutch shoe radially inward. Resilient snaps hold each of the clutch shoes with respect to the clutch boss so that each of the clutch shoes is biased toward each of the flanges in an axial direction of the drive shaft.
