ABSTRACT:
A clutch is disclosed with at least two engaging surfaces and a friction lining between the surfaces. Interposed between the friction lining support member and a driven member is a fusible, low melting point material, which can be an alloy or an element. At an elevated clutch temperature, dependent upon the melting temperature of the selected material, the material will melt and allow the driven member to slip or freely rotate relative to the driving member. The material solidifies upon cooling below its melting temperature, and thereby allows the clutch to engage and function in its usual manner with no maintenance or repair.
