<p>The invention relates to shift control mechanisms for clutches in which a cam and follower are used to control shifting of the clutch. In this invention, a pair of rotatable clutch members are disposed spacedly on a shaft and are axially movable thereon to positions of engagement and nonengagement with other clutch members in a clutch mechanism. The spaced members are coupled together so that any axial movement is mutual. The arrangement includes a cam and follower for reciprocably moving the members in and out of their various axial positions on the shaft. Rotation of the cam is translated by the follower into linear reciprocable movement for axially moving the members. The arrangement provides accurate control over movement and provides mechanical advantage.</p> |
