<p>A control device to remotely engage and disengage a clutch having a manually operable lever, consisting of a link pivoted to the lever and to a sector plate. The latter is pivotally mounted on abase and is adapted for movement with a swing arm mounted on the same pivot and extending radially of the sector plate. The swing arm carries a slidable dog releasably engaged with the sector plate and is moved by a power-operated lifter. The sector plate is connected to the link and is adapted to move between a first declutched position, and a second clutched position, and a final operative position intermediate the two firstnamed positions, nearer the second position, thereby preventing undue stress on the bearings of the clutch actuation assembly when the clutch is operative.</p> |
