DEFINITION

Classification: 254/317

Including clutch mechanism in drive having coaxial, rotatable, relatively shiftable axially, power transmitting components:

(under subclass 294) Apparatus wherein the interlinked drive trains include a clutch mechanism having a rotatable component which is rotated about its axis by the power source, the component, in its entirety, being relatively shiftable along its axis of rotation either (a) into contact with another component of the clutch mechanism causing this component to rotate about the same axis and to transmit power to at least one of the drums, or (b) out of contact with the other component allowing that component to stop rotating and not transmit power.
