Abstract
A mechanical clutch is described having a spring loaded clutch ring with a drive pin extending through a hole in a hub of a wheel and into a notch of a drive shaft. When pressure is exerted on the outer portion of the drive wheel, the spring is compressed and the drive pin is removed from the notch of the drive shaft. This allows the drive shaft to turn freely within the wheel and hub.
