Abstract
A cone-type clutch is provided having a cone-shaped housing coupled to a drive shaft for engaging a cone-shaped friction cone coupled to a driven shaft to establish a driving connection between the shafts. The clutch is activated by rotating two actuating levers relative to each other to engage opposing ramp surfaces and separate the actuating levers axially in order to force contact between the cone-shaped housing and friction cone.
