A self-energizing clutch is disclosed, which is of such construction as to enable it to be engaged or disengaged at will, irrespective of the direction or relative speed of rotation, as between the driving and driven components of the clutch. The clutch consists of components or parts which are quickly and easily assemblable, and which are resistant to breakage or damage during the operation of the clutch. A particular feature of the clutch is the creation of a tangential force during operation of the clutch, which exceeds the torque or force between the driving and driven parts of the clutch, in order to disengage the clutch.
