  • Patent number: 4567972
    Abstract: A clutch system providing a simplified clutch adjustment which also gives an indication of how much clutch facing remains so that it is known when a clutch face needs replacement. The system mounts the motor armature and flywheel in a bearing structure which is axially shiftable toward the clutch face by utilization of a rotatable element threadedly engaged with the main frame of the motor and which presents against one end of the bearing structure so that it may shift the bearing structure and the entire armature and flywheel by rotation of the threaded element. This threaded element is coupled to the fan cowl of the motor which is in turn held in fixed position by a latching member. With the latching member released, the fan cowl is rotatable to adjust the flywheel, with the fan cowl then being again latched into position to prevent further movement of the flywheel in an axial direction.
