DEFINITION

Classification: 254/365

Drive includes clutch mechanism having coaxial, rotatable, relatively shifting axially, power transmitting components:

(under subclass 266) Apparatus wherein the drive includes 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 or 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 the drum, or (b) out of contact with the other component allowing it to stop rotating and not transmit power to drum.
