DEFINITION

Classification: 192/55.2

With flexible shaft coupling permitting limited relative rotation:

(under subclass 54.1) Subject matter having structure in the torque transmission path which permits limited relative rotation between the input and output shafts in order to absorb torque variations.

(1) Note. This subclass and subclasses indented thereunder include the combination of a selectively engageable clutch and a flexible shaft coupling. Classification in this subclass requires more than mere nominal recitation of a clutch.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

70.17, for clutches having interposed mating clutch elements including recoilably yieldable means permitting a limited degree of variation between the rotation of a shaft and the rotation of a member supported thereby.

200+, for a subcombination comprising a clutch element resiliently mounted on a hub.
