ABSTRACT:
An overload clutch in which torque transmitting elements are held within hollow portions formed in one of a hub member or a driven plate member and are urged by a pressure plate against recesses formed in the other of the hub member or driven plate member so that torque may be transmitted and the torque transmitting elements are adapted to escape from said V-shaped recesses in opposition to an urging force. The pressure plate is formed with an inclined section for pressing the torque transmitting elements in a direction which substantially intersects the rotational axis of the clutch. The hollow portions for holding the torque transmitting elements are generally V-shaped when viewed axially, and the recesses for holding the torque transmitting elements are grooves of V-shaped cross section.
