ABSTRACT:
A centrifugally actuated coupling apparatus having an internal hub, an annular rotatable external hub coaxially disposed about the internal hub, and a locking element. The internal hub is rotatable about an axis, and includes an outer circumferential surface and a first recess formed on the outer surface. The external hub includes an inner circumferential surface and at least one circumferentially spaced second recess formed on the inner surface. The locking element includes a pivot end and a contact end. The pivot end is pivotally retained by the internal hub, and the contact end movably contacts the first recess. The contact end is pivotable radially outwardly by centrifugal force into engagement with one of the second recesses in response to rotation of the internal hub in a forward direction with respect to the external hub.
