Vehicle transmission clutch assembly - has epicyclic gears fitted between clutch plate and driving end of engine

摘要

The clutch mechanism has the driving connection between the engine and the gear box effected by an epicyclic gear fitted between the output end of the engine and the clutch plate. The engine is connected with the gear box by a clutch (12), consisting of an input part (13) connected with the engine by a shaft (14) and an output part (15) connected by another shaft (16) to the gear box. The end of the shaft opposite to the connection with the gearbox is seated in the body of the inout part (13). The output part (15) represents the sun wheel of an epicyclic gear engaging with planets (17) with pinion (19) of reduced dia. rigidly connected. A centrally seated gear (20) engages with the planets (19).
