Clutch System And Method
US Patent:
2009023, Sep 24, 2009
Filed:
May 15, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/466543
Inventors:
Craig M. Swanson - Perham MN, US
Thomas M. Jagger - Golden Valley MN, US
George S. Pieper - Champlin MN, US
Thomas M. Jagger - Golden Valley MN, US
George S. Pieper - Champlin MN, US
Assignee:
KIT MASTERS INC. - Perham MN
International Classification:
F16D 25/08
US Classification:
192 91 A
Abstract:
A clutch system may include in certain embodiments a clutch body attached to a drive member such as a drive pulley, wherein the clutch body may be removed from the drive member without disassembling the clutch body. In various embodiments, the clutch body may include two clutch plates which enclose a spring-loaded pneumatic reciprocating assembly that in operation causes the plates to selectively separate and engage one another. In certain embodiments, the clutch body may be readily attached to a associated drive pulley in a single step by installation of a single set of fasteners.

Viscous Two-Speed Clutch
US Patent:
2012016, Jun 28, 2012
Filed:
Dec 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/335621
Inventors:
Paul ROCZNIAK - Perham MN, US
Thomas M. Jagger - Golden Valley MN, US
Craig M. Swanson - Perham MN, US

Assignee:
KIT MASTERS - Perham MN
International Classification:
F16D 35/00, F04D 27/00
US Classification:
417319, 192103 R
Abstract:
Some embodiments of a clutch system may drive an output portion to rotate at a first rotational speed when the clutch surfaces are engaged and to rotate at a second rotational speed when the clutch surfaces are shifted to a disengaged position. The viscous two-speed clutch system may employ a viscous drive system that causes the output portion to rotate even when the clutch surfaces are disengaged. In such circumstances, the cooling fan can be driven to rotate at a first rotation speed due to interconnection with a drive source and to rotate at a second rotational speed even when the clutch surfaces are disengaged. Thus, the clutch system facilitates the flow of cooling air both when the vehicle cooling system activates the fan (e.g. by causing the clutch surface to engage) and when the vehicle cooling system deactivates the fan (e.g. by causing the clutch surfaces to disengage).

US Classification:
192 482, 192 483, 192 6622, 192 843, 19211321, 310105
Abstract:
Some embodiments of a clutch system may drive an output member to rotate at a first speed when the opposing clutch surfaces are engaged and to rotate at a second speed when the clutch surfaces are shifted to a disengaged position. In particular embodiments, the multi-speed clutch system may employ an eddy current drive system that causes the output portion to rotate even when the opposing clutch surfaces are disengaged.
