Self starting and braking clutch for fluid coupling for small engine with direct wheel drive

摘要: A fluid coupling is combined with a one way clutch for the direct drive of wheel from small engine. The mounted in cantilevered support or two ended bearing engine and has diameter inner driven shaft larger out driving contacting directly wheel. connects to pump having relatively outer than either shaft. This on opposite side between shafts engages only direction relative rotation At any time that speed less current rotating wheel, engages. Thus, when stopped compression starting desired, ignition connected forward movement drives starting. Likewise, where dynamic braking interrupted results engagement resulting.
