IMPROVEMENT IN WIND DRIVEN MACHINE

摘要

This invention concerns a wind driven machine including a clutch mechanism for connecting a rotary output shaft from a wind driven member to a second shaft adapted to be rotated by the output shaft. The mechanism comprises a clutch drive portion arranged to rotate with but to be axially moveable in relation to the output shaft between a disengaged and an engaged position in which it engages a clutch driven portion fixed to the second shaft. The drive portion is biased towards the disengaged position and is moveable to the engaged position under the influence of weights mounted on a lever pivoted to a member fixed to the output shaft and linked to the drive portion.
