  • Wet clutch device
    Patent number: 4958712
    Abstract: A wet clutch device for selectively transmitting the rotation of a rotatable pulley to a driven shaft which rotatably supports the pulley. The wet clutch device includes an oil chamber which encloses a predetermined amount of oil and which is defined by the pulley and a cover which is secured to the pulley, driving clutch plates which are axially movably supported by the pulley in the oil chamber, driven clutch plates which are axially movably supported by the driven shaft in the oil chamber to selectively come into engagement with, and disengagement from corresponding driving clutch plates, and actuating device for bringing the driving clutch plates and the driven clutch plates into engagement with each other.
