ABSTRACT:
A positive drive is disclosed of the type including an input (11,13,21) and a pair of outputs (27,29) in which torque is transmitted from the input to the outputs by means of a pair of drive coupled members (23 and 25) and clutch assemblies (35 and 37). In order to frictionally dampen any undesirable oscillations to the input relative to the outputs, each of the clutch assemblies includes inactive clutch discs (61 and 63). It is one important feature of the invention to increase the net clearance, i.e., the amount of rotational movement of the input relative to the outputs over which frictional dampening occurs. If additional biasing preload is required for the inactive discs only, a separate biasing spring (71,73) may be added for each of the clutch assemblies.
