F16D13/00Friction clutches

F16D13/02disengaged by the contact of a part mounted on the clutch with a stationarily-mounted member F16D13/025with a helical band or equivalent member with two or more turns embracing a drum or the like F16D13/04with means for actuating or keeping engaged by a force derived at least partially from one of the shafts to be connected F16D13/06with clutching members movable otherwise than only axially F16D13/08with a helical band or equivalent member, which may be built up from linked parts, with more than one turn embracing a drum or the like, with or without an additional clutch actuating the end of the band F16D13/10with clutching members co-operating with the periphery of a drum, a wheel-rim, or the like F16D13/12with an expansible band or coil co-operating with the inner surface of a drum or the like F16D13/14with outwardly-movable clutching members co-operating with the inner surface of a drum or the like F16D13/16shaped as radially-movable segments F16D13/18shaped as linked or separately-pivoted segments F16D13/20with clutching members co-operating with both the periphery and the inner surface of a drum or wheel-rim F16D13/22with axially-movable clutching members F16D13/24with conical friction surfaces cone clutches F16D13/26in which the or each axially-movable member is pressed exclusively against an axially-located member F16D13/28with means for increasing the effective force between the actuating sleeve or equivalent member and the pressure member F16D13/30in which the clutching pressure is produced by springs only F16D13/32in which two or more axially-movable members are pressed from one side towards an axially-located member F16D13/34with means for increasing the effective force between the actuating sleeve or equivalent member and the pressure member F16D13/36in which the clutching pressure is produced by springs only F16D13/38with flat clutching surfaces F16D13/385double clutches F16D13/40in which the or each axially-movable member is pressed exclusively against an axially-located member F16D13/42with means for increasing the effective force between the actuating sleeve or equivalent member and the pressure member F16D13/44in which the clutching pressure is produced by springs only F16D13/46in which two axially-movable members, of which one is attached to the driving side and the other to the driven side, are pressed from one side towards an axially-located member F16D13/48with means for increasing the effective force between the actuating sleeve or equivalent member and the pressure member F16D13/50in which the clutching pressure is produced by springs only F16D13/505Devices located between the flywheel and the driven disc, and biassing the driven disc away from the flywheel towards the disengaged position F16D13/52Clutches with multiple lamellae Clutches in which three or more axially moveable members are fixed alternately to the shafts to be coupled and are pressed from one side towards an axially-located member F16D13/54with means for increasing the effective force between the actuating sleeve or equivalent member and the pressure member F16D13/56in which the clutching pressure is produced by springs only F16D13/58Details F16D13/583Diaphragm-springs F16D13/585Arrangements or details relating to the mounting or support of the diaphragm on the clutch on the clutch cover or the pressure plate F16D13/60Clutching elements F16D13/62Clutch-bands Clutch shoes Clutch-drums F16D13/64Clutch-plates Clutch-lamellae F16D13/644Hub construction F16D13/646Mounting of the discs on the hub F16D13/648for clutches with multiple lamellae F16D13/66of conical shape F16D13/68Attachments of plates or lamellae to their supports F16D13/683for clutches with multiple lamellae F16D13/686with one or more intermediate members made of rubber or like material transmitting torque from the linings to the hub F16D13/69Arrangements for spreading lamellae in the released state F16D13/70Pressure members F16D13/71in which the clutching pressure is produced by springs only F16D13/72Features relating to cooling F16D13/74Features relating to lubrication F16D13/75Features relating to adjustment F16D13/752the adjusting device being located in the actuating mechanism arranged outside the clutch F16D13/755the adjusting device being located in or near the release bearing F16D13/757the adjusting device being located on or inside the clutch cover F16D13/76specially adapted to incorporate with other transmission parts, i.e. at least one of the clutch parts also having another function
