Abstract
An overload clutch wherein a clutch hub and a clutch sleeve are brought into and out of driving engagement by spring loaded driving members in the hub engaging into recesses in the sleeve. The disengagement of the clutch is achieved in stages by constructing the recesses so that the driving members will disengage individually at different torque transmission levels. More specifically, the depth of the recesses is varied to vary the disengagement levels of the driving members.
