ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine has a projecting crankshaft on which a sleeve is mounted for supporting a set of annular clutch plates disposed in interfitting relation with a set of annular clutch discs. The clutch discs are mounted on a cooling fan support shaft which is aligned with the crankshaft and is rotatably supported by a clutch housing secured to an oil pump housing mounted on the engine block. The lubricating oil for the engine is also pumped axially through the sleeve and outwardly between the clutch plates and discs which are movable between a clamped position and a released position in response to axial movement of an air actuated non-rotating annular piston surrounding the crankshaft. The piston may also be actuated to engage an annular brake surrounding the crankshaft when it is desired to brake the output shaft and prevent rotation of the cooling fan.
