  1. In machinery, a form of clutch armed usually with two prongs (a a), which when in gear act on the ends or lugs of a friction-strap , fitted on a side-boss of the wheel to be driven, the latter being loose on the same shaft. The clutch is attached to the shaft by a feather-key, and when drawn back or out of gear with the strap the wheel remains at rest, and the clutch continues to revolve with the shaft. When it is required to set the machinery again in motion, the clutch is thrown forward by the fork c, and its prongs, engaging with the strap, gradually put the wheel in motion.
