(under subclass 290) Device provided with a clutch that connects and disconnects said moving mechanism and said first member.
(1) Note. The "clutch" referred to above is one that by itself would be found in Class 192, Clutches and Power-Stop Control, thus needs no further definition. In this subclass, however, the clutch is used solely to connect a wheel, or equivalent rotating load whose rotation is to be retarded, to a device of this class (188), and this subclass (290+), used to retard such rotation, so that user may control operation or nonoperation of a retarder.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
71.2, for disclosure of a disc-brake assemblage connected to a wheel or rotating load by a clutch mechanism.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS
192, Clutches and Power-Stop Control, appropriate subclasses, for a clutch, per se, and 12+, for a clutch and a brake that are applied alternatively to drive or to retard a mechanism.
