초록 ▼

A clutch cover for use with virtually any combination of make and model of engine components and method of making the same is disclosed. The clutch cover is made by spin forming a sheet of metal and removing material as needed to coincide with the corresponding engine components. Therefore, the exact design of the cover including attaching holes and apertures related to release levers may be quickly and easily formed in the clutch cover. Furthermore, a heat management system is provided that includes the addition of fins or other apertures through the clutch cover to increase the air flow to reduce the temperature within the clutch cover to cool engine components.

1. A method of forming a universal clutch cover for use with a clutch assembly used with virtually any make of a vehicle engine, the method comprising the steps of: determining the make of the vehicle engine;applying a force normal to a spinning sheet of metal having an aperture therethrough to form a generally bowl-shaped member with a flange at a wide end and a rim at a narrow end of the bowl-shaped member;machining a pattern of holes in the flange of the bowl-shaped member, the pattern of holes corresponding to the make of the vehicle engine; andmachining a plurality of apertures through the bowl-shaped member between the flange and the rim thereby manufacturing the clutch cover. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: enlarging the aperture of the bowl shaped member by cutting away a portion of said member; andapplying a force to the bowl shaped member to form a recessed ridge adjacent to the enlarged aperture opposite the flange. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of applying a force to the bowl shaped member is performed by spinning the bowl shaped member while a force normal to a surface of the bowl shaped member is applied. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of cutting a portion of the bowl shaped member away is performed using a laser cutter. 5. The method of claim 1 further comprising stamping a pattern of fins in the bowl-shaped member between each of the plurality of apertures. 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the fins are bent outwardly from the bowl-shaped member. 7. The method of claim 1 further comprising leveling the flange relative to a recessed ridge. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the number of the plurality of apertures is between three and six apertures. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein a portion of the bowl-shaped member is generally perpendicular to the flange and rim. 10. The method of claim 1 further comprising centering the aperture in the sheet of metal before spinning the sheet along an axis of the aperture. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the pattern of holes of the flange is stored in a database. 12. The method of claim 11 further comprising selecting the pattern of holes from the database based on the make of vehicle engine prior to machining the pattern in the flange. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of applying a force normal to a spinning sheet of metal is performed by an internal spin process. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of applying a force normal to a spinning sheet of metal is performed by an external spin process. 15. A method of forming a clutch cover for a clutch assembly of an engine, comprising: forming a hole in a sheet of metal;spinning the sheet of metal on a spin-casting machine about the central axis of the hole;applying a force normal to the sheet of metal starting a predetermined distance from the edge of the hole to form a bowl-shaped member having a rim adjacent a narrow end and a flange adjacent a wide end, the rim and flange being generally perpendicular to the axis of the hole;machining a pattern of flange holes in the flange, the pattern of flange holes configured to operably attach the clutch assembly to the engine; andcutting a plurality of apertures in the bowl-shaped member, the apertures adapted to house release levers thereby manufacturing the clutch cover. 16. The method of claim 15 further comprising stamping a plurality of fins around the bowl-shaped member. 17. The method of claim 15 further comprising machining a pattern of rim holes in the rim, the pattern of rim holes corresponding to the engine. 18. The method of claim 15 further comprising leveling the flange relative to the rim. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the step of applying a force normal to the sheet of metal is performed by an internal spin process. 20. The method of claim 15, wherein the step of applying a force normal to the sheet of metal is performed by an external spin process. 21. A method of forming a customized clutch cover for use with a clutch assembly used with virtually any make of a vehicle engine, the method comprising the steps of: receiving information identifying a particular make of engine;receiving from a database, a pattern of holes corresponding to the identified engine;applying a force normal to a spinning sheet of metal having an aperture therethrough to form a generally bowl-shaped member with a flange at a wide end and a rim at a narrow end of the bowl-shaped member;enlarging the aperture of the bowl shaped member by cutting away a portion of said member;applying a force to the bowl shaped member to form a recessed ridge adjacent to the enlarged aperture opposite the flange;machining a pattern of holes in the flange of the bowl-shaped member, the pattern of holes corresponding to pattern of holes received from the database;machining a plurality of apertures through the bowl-shaped member between the flange and the rim; andstamping a pattern of fins in the bowl-shaped member between each of the plurality of apertures thereby manufacturing the clutch cover.
