  • Clutch assembly pressure plate with tapered face
    Patent number: 11209051
    Abstract: A pack includes a set of first friction disks interleaved with a set of second friction disks to form a stack. An annular pressure plate has an engagement side disposed against the stack. The engagement side includes an outer circumferential edge, an inner circumferential edge, a flat face extending radially inward from the outer edge, a step axially recessed into the engagement side relative to the face, and a tapered face extending from the step to the inner circumferential edge. The tapered face is disposed against an end one of the first friction disks, and the flat face is radially outboard of the first friction disks.

  • Electromagnetically actuated clutch
    Patent number: 9212704
    Abstract: A clutch mechanism includes a coil of wire for producing an electromagnetic field, a locking ring secured against rotation within a case or housing, a gear engageable with the locking ring, and a lever that pivots in response to the electromagnetic field produced by energizing the coil causing the locking ring to engage the gear and hold the gear against rotation.
