Abstract: A method of determining, during a clutch re-engagement process, the kiss-point of a vehicle clutch (14) having a driven plate (40) which drives a vehicle from an engine (10) via a multi-ratio transmission (12). The clutch is operated via a clutch actuating mechanism (20, 22) under the control of an electronic control means (36) using a method comprising the steps of: checking that the throttle (18) of the engine is closed and that the vehicle is in an engine overrun condition; partially reengaging the clutch (14) up to a point (Y) where the clutch increases the engine speed to a substantially constant level below the speed of the driven plate (40) of the clutch; measuring (34) the position of the clutch actuating mechanism (20, 22) when in said partially engaged condition; computing from said position measurement(s) and the known engagement/torque characteristics (T1, T2, T3) of the clutch the current kiss-point position (T); saving said current kiss-point position (T), and completing the engagement of the clutch.

Abstract: An engagement mechanism is provided within the rear hub of a bicycle to allow drive sprockets attached to the rear hub to transmit drive motion from the crankset to the rear wheel. The assembly uses a pair of engaging face gears with saw tooth-shaped teeth to accomplish the torque transfer/freewheeling. While one gear is in a fixed axial position, the other is allowed to move axially along a helical spline. A light spring backs up this moveable gear to hold it against the other. When the moveable gear is rotated in one direction, the teeth having their faces parallel to the axis push against each other squarely, transferring the rotating motion from one to the other. Yet in the other direction of rotation, the faces of the teeth are askew to the axis forming ramps by which the fixed gear pushes the moveable gear away from it along the axis. This allows the teeth of the moveable gear to jump over the teeth of the fixed gear causing no rotating force to be transferred to the other and thus freewheeling. The helical spline acts like a screw thread; in the engaging direction of rotation, it pulls and clamps the movable gear to the fixed gear. Once engaged, the helix continues to apply force to hold the two gears together. Because of this effect, the teeth of the gears can be made very small allowing upwards of 100 engagements per turn and of lighter materials such as aluminum rather than steel.

Abstract: A clutch assembly using a ball ramp actuator supplying a clamping force on a clutch disc in response to an electromagnetic field where the clutch clamping force is maintained and increased with clutch slip using a ball ramp mechanism having a control ring and an actuation ring. A bias spring acting to maintain contact between a clutch member and the coil plate of the control clutch. Activated by a control clutch having a response to electrical current introduced into a coil thereby creating an electromagnetic field in a coil pole which attracts a coil plate which in turn applies a cone clutch thereby introducing a rotational torque on the control ring to activate the ball ramp mechanism. The bias spring is used to force the clutch plate toward the coil pole thereby minimizing the air gap between the clutch plate and coil pole thereby providing a more controllable engagement of the clutch assembly.

Abstract: A disconnection coupling (11) is provided for installation between the input shaft (41) of an accessory and an engine to which the accessory is mounted. An input member (20) of the coupling (11) is connected to the engine in lieu of the accessory's input shaft (41). This provides engine power to the input member which can be selectively transferred to the accessory's input shaft. An intermediate member (30) is rotationally connected to an output member (40) which, in turn, receives the accessory's input shaft (41). The intermediate member (30) is able to be axially displaced with respect to the output member (40), while a spline joint (35) maintains the rotational connection between the intermediate and output members (30, 40). A release ring (47) and a braking spring (55) cooperate to cause a sleeve (57) to apply braking force and to axially displace the intermediate member (30) in order to disconnect the curvic coupling (29) and consequently disengage the accessory's input shaft (41) from the input member (20). When the release ring (47) is moved to a position to allow connection of the curvic coupling (29), a solenoid (69) normally latches the release ring (47) in that position.

Abstract: A vehicle transmission clutch control including an electronic logic control which controls the transmission gear selection, a clutch position signal generator responsive to vehicle operating parameters to produce a command signal which operates a clutch control to govern the engagement of the clutch.A clutch disengagement control receives a gear change signal from the logic control and produces an output signal that can override the command signal to cause the control system to disengage the clutch. The output signal is caused to vary during a gear change and thereby alters the command signal and cause the clutch engagement to vary over the gear change period.
