engages a rotatable intermediate plate which is mounted in spaced relationship inside an annular hub as the rotational speed of the intermediate plate increases it expands radially outwardly and engages the hub to complete the clutch engagement application_number US 5874502 A description the numeral 10 generally designates the clutch of the present invention the clutch shown drivingly connected to a spinner basket 12 for rotating the spinner basket 12 alternatively the clutch is capable of driving an agitator 14 within the spinner basket 12 the agitator 14 includes agitator fins or paddles 16 and an agitator base 18 a transmission 20 includes an agitator drive shaft 22 and a spinner drive shaft 24 the transmission 20 includes an input shaft 26 having a pulley 28 thereon the rotation of the pulley 28 in a first rotational direction will cause the transmission 20 to alternatively rotate the agitator 14 in first and second opposite rotational directions so as to create an agitation action within the spinner basket 12 this alternative agitating motion is transferred from the transmission 20 through the shaft 22 to the agitator 14 when the pulley 28 is rotated in an opposite second direction the transmission 20 transfers rotational movement through the spinner drive shaft 24 to the spinner basket 12 and causes rotation of the spinner basket 12 only in the second direction this rotation is usually at high speeds so as to centrifugally spin the washing fluid out of the fabrics that are within the spinner basket 12 connected to the pulley 28 is a drive belt 30 which is also.
