Clutch Driven Plate Assembly With Variable Friction Area

View page
US Patent:
43772250, Mar 22, 1983
Filed:
Nov 17, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/207827
Inventors:
Thaddeus Lech - Sterling Heights MI
Richard T. Popchock - Lake Orion MI
Assignee:
Borg-Warner Corporation - Chicago IL
International Classification:
F16D 1369
US Classification:
192107C
Abstract:
A clutch driven plate assembly for an automotive vehicle wherein the clutch plate has radially extending lobes carrying friction pads of a suitable material, with the pad being mounted on cushioning means so as to present a variable surface contact area to the engaging surfaces of the clutch assembly to decrease the clutching capacity at initial engagement to reduce chatter. As torque demand increases and clutch engagement continues, the clutch capacity is increased by the deforming of the cushioning means to allow the friction pads to flatten against the engaging surfaces and provide a larger contact area.

Clutch Driven Plate Assembly

US Patent:
45372969, Aug 27, 1985
Filed:
Jul 23, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/633715
Inventors:
Thaddeus Lech - Farmington Hills MI
Richard T. Popchock - Lake Orion MI
Assignee:
Alma Piston Company - Southfield MI
International Classification:
F16D 1368
US Classification:
1921062
Abstract:
The clutch driven plate assembly includes a hub assembly connectable to a driven shaft and interconnected driven and spring retainer plates rotatably mounted upon the hub assembly. The hub assembly has an inner hub and an outer hub having a driven flange between the plates. A plurality of circumferentially spaced aligned windows are provided in the plates and flange, with at least one compression spring retained within each set of aligned windows thereby defining a yieldable connection between the plates and flange. The inner hub has a cylindrical body provided with a pair of outwardly directed converging hub flanges and the outer hub has a central opening of the same shape as the hub flanges and oversized with respect thereto and loosely receiving the inner hub flanges for limited relative rotation. A back plate is spaced from the inner and outer hubs and secured to the flange, and a resilient spacer is interposed between and bears against the inner and outer hubs and back plate. Axial springs are interposed in compression between one side of the hub flanges and back plate normally biasing the hub flanges away from the back plate.

Double Wrap Friction Brake Band And Method Of Manufacture

US Patent:
50836420, Jan 28, 1992
Filed:
Jan 25, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/471250
Inventors:
Oscar Stefanutti - Orchard Lake MI
Omar P. Oszust - Sterling Heights MI
Richard T. Popchock - Oxford MI
Assignee:
Advanced Friction Materials Company - Sterling Heights MI
International Classification:
F16D 4902
B23P 1700
US Classification:
188 77W
Abstract:
A double wrap brake band for controlling the clutch drum of an automatic transmission for a vehicle. The band is formed from an integrally stamped strap the ends of which are joined to form the circular band. The strap includes longitudinal slots forming three parallel straps which control the constriction and expansion of the band. A first bracket secured to the outer straps and a second bracket secured to the intermediate strap facilitate control of the constriction/expansion movement. The brackets are secured to the straps such that breakage and malfunction are reduced.
