ABSTRACT:
A torque clutch coupling includes a torque clutch body adapted for support and rotative drive and having an axially disposed drive clutch thereon. A casing is mounted on and encloses said clutch. An adapter for a driven member is nested within said case and is spaced from the drive clutch. A driven torque clutch is loosely mounted over said adapter within said case and is normally biased for engagement with said drive clutch. An adjustable rotative drive mechanism is interposed between said driven clutch and adapter, and includes multiple interconnected projections, at least one of said projections lying in an inclined plane and at an angle to the case axis, whereby upon the adapter encountering a torque in excess of a predetermined torque, there will be a relative movement between the projections, such that the driven clutch is cammed into longitudinal movement within the case completely disengaging from the drive clutch.
