    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    3D DAVE, sorry, I transported ;the patent number it is US8,215,654 B1 ;THAT SHOULD WORK!

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    Thank you for the information STRONG, No, I did not see that one; my design is based upon my patent NO US 8,215,645 B1 issued 7/10/2012 for mobile devices. See attached, and an inexpensive de-clutcher system is required for my...

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    OK,my design incorporates two one-way clutches driven in straight line by the pedals therefore any reverse force would result in the lockup of the clutches, ergo the need for the de-clutcher if the unit is pushed backwards.

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    Thanks for the tip, I will look at outboard boat motors clutches and see if that will work!

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    That is correct and why I need an actual operable disconnect.

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    When one pushes a bike backwards that action will LOCK the freewheel and rotate the crank backwards!

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    Thank you CouplingGuru, The problem is that what I need to stop is similar to the bike crank rotating backwards when moving the bike backwards, so the freewheel would not work; I need to have an actual disconnect like shown on the picture. I would appreciate an inexpensive solution, the one...

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT BRIAN, THIS BIKE WAS MODIFIED TO MY PATENT ON DL2R (direct linear to rotary)and it required the disconnect in the drive; what I am looking for is a less expensive disconnect means for my next project, a recumbent three wheeler. Any ideas? Walt

    mechanically operatable shaft mounted coupling for light load; shift at no load

    Need an inexpensive coupling to engage/disengage shaft mounted sprocket from 1/2"shaft when idle, foot operated load. application shown on attachment.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=23e25a63-4941-471f-9f2e-471d38549cdd&file=DECLUTCH.jpg
