DEFINITION

Classification: 242/257

With disengageable positive drive components (e.g., a clutch):

(under subclass 249) Subject matter wherein the drive mechanism includes a drive element shiftable from a position for positively transferring torque between the force input and the line take-up member, to a second position completely interrupting the positive torque transfer.

(1) Note. This subclass is the locus for reels having nongear, positive drive couplings shiftable relative to an axis of rotation in a radial or oblique direction.
