The present invention relates to a clutch for a laundry appliance. The clutch selectively connects a laundry vessel to a variable speed drive. A driven member is rotationally coupled to the variable speed drive and an un-driven member is rotationably coupled to the laundry vessel. The un-driven member is at least partially rotationally coupled to the driven member by friction. At least one locking element is moveable from an unlocked position to a locking position. The un-driven member and the driven member are rotationally coupled together once the un-driven member accelerates to a rotational speed above a first rotational speed, connecting the laundry vessel to the variable speed drive. |
