ABSTRACT:
An improved force transmitting assembly includes a pair of force transmitting discs and a reaction disc which is disposed between the force transmitting discs. When the force transmitting assembly is in a disengaged condition, a spacer assembly maintains the force transmitting discs spaced apart by a distance which is greater than the distance between opposite side surfaces of the reaction disc. A locator assembly moves the force transmitting discs to predetermined positions whenever the force transmitting assembly is operated from the engaged condition to the disengaged condition. As the force transmitting assembly is disengaged, the locator assembly pulls one force transmitting disc to a predetermined position. Since the spacer assembly maintains a predetermined space between the two force transmitting discs, the other force transmitting disc is also moved to a predetermined position as the locator assembly pulls the one force transmitting disc to a predetermined position.
