Abstract
A clutch is provided for linking a compressor with a drive therefor, particularly for heavy vehicles. The clutch includes a rotatable housing linked to the drive mounted in bearings of a clutch casing, the housing carrying on its outside a pack of clutch rings which alternate with a pack of clutch rings carried on the inside of a sliding, rotatable drum which is linked to the compressor. The pack of clutch rings are normally compressed together by springs and can be released by a pneumatically-operable piston which comes into play by build-up of air pressure and presses against part of the drum against the resilient bias.
