Abstract
The clutch of a beach buggy. The clutch is provided with a friction enduring resilient annular member closely positioned between an actuating member and the outer cover of the clutch. Thus, when the engine of a beach buggy is started, the actuating member will be driven to rotate and the outer cover will be activated to rotate slowly by the pressing frictional force produced by the resilient annular member and the actuating member. At the same, a shift gear connected to the outer cover will also rotate slowly, improving the engagement between one of the transmission gears and the shifting gear before accelerating and accordingly preventing a beach buggy from rushing abruptly.
