<p>A transmission between a drive member and a drive shaft (1) of an automotive engine comprising, in a housing (2), a friction clutch constituted by at least one rotatable driving element (3) and at least one driven element coming into bearing contact with variable gripping to obtain a variation of the couple transmitted to the output shaft (1) under the action of a control device that at least partially projects from the housing (2). The control device is automatically actuated by two separate inertial forces, one, generated by the driver of the engine, tending to bring together the drive element (3) and the driven element when the resistance to forward movement of the engine increases, the other, generated by the mass of the engine tending to uncouple the drive element (3) and driven element when the resistance to advance of the engine decreases.</p> |
