Coupling between flywheel and output shaft - has cam face operated spring loaded pins to hold or free spring loaded flywheel locking pin

摘要

The coupling system comprises a driving element, such as a flywheel, a driven element, such as an output shaft, and a housing, which can be intercoupled via springs. The elements comprise grooves or guide faces which control the movement of slidable coupling pins which are directly or indirectly connected with the springs. The operation of the springs may be determined by the position of the accelerator or brake pedal of a vehicle. The stroke and/or the pretension of the springs may be determined by the position of the accelerator or brake pedal.
