ABSTRACT:
In an engine-powered wheeled vehicle, having a clutch interposed the engine and the drive wheel, actuated through a clutch cable operated by a moveable engaging/disengaging clutch handle, a clutch oscillator assembly including a chassis for mounting on the vehicle intermediate the clutch and the clutch handle, a shaft supported on the chasis for powered rotation about a fixed axis, a switched for interrupting the power to the shaft to cause controlled rotation thereof, a cyclic drive in association with the shaft for alternately pulling and releasing the clutch cable as a function of rotation of the shaft and including a work plate pivotally mounted on the chassis arranged to be driven by the shaft and further including a lever pivotally mounted on the chassis having one end in releasable contact with the clutch cable, wherein the cyclic drive includes a post mounted on the work plate, spaced-apart from the pivotal mounting thereof, and adapted to move as the work plate is turned, to create rhythmic contact between the post with a portion of the lever, to move the lever and cause the clutch cable to be pulled to disengage the clutch during part of the rotation of the work plate, and further including a notch formed in the lever for passage of the post therethrough and out of contact with the lever, during another part of the rotation of the work plate, to release the clutch cable and allow the clutch to immediately re-engage.
