  • Patent number: 11892037
    Abstract: An improved clutch basket assembly is disclosed. The improved clutch basket assembly provides improved wear resistance at the interfaces between friction discs and a clutch basket housing while allowing an operator to have improved clutch lever control and modulation when manually engaging or disengaging the clutch system. The improved clutch basket assembly includes a generally cylindrical clutch basket having a sidewall, a closed first end and an open second end. A plurality of removable pins is attached to the sidewall. A plurality of frictions disks is mounted in said clutch basket. The friction disks each have a plurality of positioning tabs extending out from a periphery of each of the friction disks. The positioning tabs are configured for engagement with at least one adjacent removable pin removably attached to the sidewall.

  • Patent number: 11644069
    Abstract: An improved adjuster for a clutch having an expanding friction disk. The improved adjuster allows desirable characteristics of a clutch pressure plate to be maintained while allowing an operator to bias the pressure plate into proper position to accommodate the function of the expanding friction disk.

  • Publication number: 20220356912
    Abstract: An improved pressure plate and clutch assembly allowing for use of a Bellevue (or diaphragm) spring and/or a series of coil springs in the clutch assembly. A Bellevue spring alone can be utilized with the pressure plate; a series of coil springs alone can be utilized with the pressure plate; or alternatively both a Bellevue spring and a series of coil springs can be utilized. The pressure plate has features that allow for either or both of the spring types to be utilized to bias the pressure plate. This allows for the selection of either spring type or both spring types. The pressure plate further preferably has features to allow for a spring or similar biasing mechanism to exert an opposing force to the Bellevue and/or series of coil springs.
