ABSTRACT:
An inflatable flexible gland clutch has a gland secured to one of a pair of cooperating clutch elements. The gland mounts friction shoes and includes inflatable chambers which, when subjected to air under pressure, will move the gland to a position where the shoes engage the other clutch element. Other chambers formed in the gland will, when inflated, disengage the clutch by moving the clutch shoes away from engagement with the mating clutch element.
