Abstract
This invention is an overrunning tooth type clutch which is retarder controlled. The clutch engages and disengages two axially aligned shafts with slight relative rotation. The retarder comprises a wrap spring which is circumferentially mounted on the driven shaft and engages the driving shaft. Relative shaft rotation in one direction causes the spring to drag on the driven shaft. In this mode, a force is created in the axially inclined slot through a pin on the driving shaft which causes the driven clutch member to move axially to engage the clutch on the driving shaft. Opposite relative rotation causes the clutch teeth to separate and disengage the two clutch members for slip or overrunning.
