ABSTRACT:
In a disengaging clutch, catch members are spring-biased into a position for transmitting torque between a clutch hub and a clutch sleeve. Each catch member has a wedge-shaped cam cooperating with a similarly shaped cam on a control ring. The control ring is held against the catch member by a spring and it is rotatably mounted on the clutch hub. When a predetermined torque is exceeded the control ring moves axially against the action of the spring and the catch members move radially from the torque-transmitting position to a floating position. By rotating the control ring, the catch members can be displaced from the floating position into a re-engaging position before returning to the torque-transmitting position.
