ABSTRACT:
The present invention is utilized for demountable securing a power take-off ring gear to the clutch drum on the clutch housing of a vehicular transmission. Specifically, a mounting sleeve releasably secures the power take-off ring to the clutch drum. The mounting sleeve has a generally annular body portion configured as an alternating series of circumferentially spaced, radially outer, crown plate portions and circumferentially spaced, root plate portions displaced radially inwardly with respect to the crown plate portions. The crown plate portions and the root plate portions are connected to each other by a series of substantially radially oriented web walls to present a circumferentially extending, corrugated configuration to the mounting sleeve, and the corrugated configuration operatively effects the driving engagement between the sleeve and the clutch drum. A series of first locking dogs extend radially inwardly from at least selected crown plate portions. The first locking dogs are disposed in opposition to a locating rim on the mounting sleeve releasably to secure the sleeve to the clutch drum. A series of annularly disposed stop surfaces are presented radially outwardly from at least selected of the root plate portions, and a series of second locking dogs extend radially outwardly from at least selected root plate portions. The stop surfaces and the second locking dogs are adapted to engage the power take-off ring gear therebetween and thereby releasably secure the power take-off ring to the mounting sleeve.
