The technical explanation : 5
A-Previous technical invention
1. The hydraulic clutch which used in automatic gear box
2. The clutch which used in stick shift gear box, which used by pressing foot as most cars, or hand as most motor cycle, (all for contact \ Q and separate rotation between motor and wheels).
So the means of transfer force from foot or hand to the arm of connect or disconnect the clutch disc in general by these two ways:
1. Either by flexible steel cable (connect force from the arm of the
clutch to the arm of separate clutch disc) covered by flexible and \ 5 non compressed cover.
2. Or by hydraulic system to move the piston which existed behind
the arm of clutch called master piston, to move threw oil another piston existed at the arm of the clutch disk called the slave piston.
3. Or by compressed air system to move the piston which existed be- 20 hind the arm of clutch called master piston, to move threw air another piston existed at the arm of the clutch disk called the slave piston.
4. Or in both cases 2 and 3 whenever the clutch paddle pressed an
electric order to a suitable electric hydraulic valves to enter com- 25 pressed air or oil, for pressing the piston toward a suitable direction to push or release the clutch disc arm
B- Detailed explanation of the invention
The target of invention now (the cars already produced) is to add an apparatus which can press the clutch pedal instead of the driver, with out 30 any serious changes regarding the car manufacturer design, so to be a perfect solution for the existing cars, ,;
We can do it by two ways 1 electric way 2 hydraulic way The first way: the electric one 1
The main parts of invention:
1 - electric motor with suitable force to be enough , with suitable and adjustable speed, to be able to move the arm of the clutch disc between two limited points, and stop for a short time in between, let us call 5 the first point 1 the start point, which is the connecting mode, as driving the car, and the terminal point 2 the separate mode , as when waiting at the traffic light, or traffic jam driving.
* While the motor rotate toward point 2, and whenever put off while rotating (O position for electric switch) a temporary brake for a wile can 10 be controlled to save the clutch and the disc, so the final stop could be only in one of two limited points, and other stop will be for a while, let us call it a critical stopping
* Motor will auto stop at one of limited points even if sustained pressed
2 - rope or cable strong enough, to round beside about pulley or around 15 the electric motor axis, or it could be as ribbon which rounded about its self
3 - the electric switch commander, with three positions, 0 non press, as on one of two limited points, or braking in a critical stopping, while the 1 positions which is for rotating electric motor , and to be stopped 20 whenever hand or foot pulled by its brake while position 2 is for brake release for returning the clutch disc arm to position 1 by the clutch impulsive. This switch could be fixed as desired, could be by the stick shift, or by foot control, or...
4 - The sensor for the car motor speed, so for less than a speed we can 25 control it automatically a command came to the electric motor to move towered the limited point 2, means separate mode as when we stop on abide traffic light, and when we exceed the car motor speed to a level we can control it (as when the driver press on petrol paddle for take off) an electric command will cancel the electric motor break so the clutch 30 impulsive will pull toward the limited point 1, the first point, which is the position of moving the car 5 - different parts to fix the electric motor and its (rope) 1
6 - The two limit reach sensor for point 1 and 2 for auto stopping the electric motor
Description: for the cars which have its normal gear box only, on the line of the clutch arm move , and on a proper distance from it , 5 we will fix the electric motor , which the rope or the strip fixed on the E motor axis and will round about its axis or pulley whenever the E motor rotate. And near to point 3 figure 1 we will fix the other end of the rope tightly with out stress or relaxation between the E motor and point 3 fig 1 . While the E motor rotate so the rope will 10 be pulled and move the clutch arm toward point 2 the disconnecting mode, so the motor and the rope will do as the driver when press on the clutch paddle, on 0 E switch mode the E motor will full brake, and on position 2 the break will be released and the clutch impulsive will pull the clutch arm toward connection mode. 15

30 The second way: the hydraulic using 1 compressed or sucked air, or 2 oil. The air in some cars which supported by air compressors could be easer
The main parts:
A hydraulic piston and cylinder (supported with two hydraulic valves electrical controlled, with compressed air entrance, if its oil system so will be a compressed oil entrance and exit toward oil storage or pump) in a proper place to pull and release the rope which fix between the cylinder and clutch disc arm (and in a proper point away from the arm along its line we fix the hydraulic piston and cylinder , which the rope will pull and release the clutch disc arm)
2 - Electric switch with three positions 0 for off or brake, while 1 is commands for electric hydraulic valves for pressing the piston toward disconnecting position, could be stopped whenever hand or foot released while position 2 for commands to return piston to connecting position (piston can stop any where but critical, while final stopping will be on one of two limited points) switch could be fixed as desired, by stick shift or any other place, or by foot control
3 - different parts to fix the hydraulic piston and its suitable rope
4 - The two sensors for both limits 1 and 2 for stopping the E engine automatically
Description: for the cars which have its normal gear box only, on the line of the clutch arm move , and on a proper distance from it, we will fix the cylinder and piston , a suitable rope or strip fixed on the piston, adjustable . And near to point 3 figure 2 or 3 we will fix the other end of the rope tightly with out stress or relaxation between the piston and point 3 fig 2 or 3 . so the rope will be pulled and move the clutch arm toward point 2 the disconnecting mode, so the piston and the rope will do as the driver when pressing on the clutch paddle, on 0 E switch mode the piston will full brake, and on position 2 the break will be released and the clutch impulsive will pull the clutch arm toward connection mode or hydraulic pressure maybe. Features: 1
1. Delete a what we can call it ( breakdown or stop engine while
we start move the car or suddenly stopping) from the driving dictionary 5
2. Due to the simplicity of this idea and design, it give us the ability of mounting it almost in all kind of cars, and no need of changes, with no comparable costs if changing the stick shift gear box to automatic gear box
3. So we achieved some of the most important merit s of the auto- 10 matic gear box, while car stopping, or traffic jam driving, so we change pressing clutch paddle by foot which bother some drivers, changing it with electric switch, using the advantage of engine speed sensor facilitate driving more with no need to press the paddle or even the switch (which give auto orders to discon- 15 nect the clutch disc when engine speed reduce to an adjustable level, and connecting the clutch disc whenever the engine speed over an adjustable level)
4. The most important thing is to avoid fuel loss and environment polluting, which cause it automatic gear boxs, specially while 20 stopping car on drive mode (and pressing brake)
5. The ability of using both ways of the clutch, the more convenient for the driver, not only when auto stopping and starting, and when changing rates up or down
6. abide of complexity of automatic gear boxes and its break 25 down, high costs, and change it with more simple
7. As known if starting engine system failed in motors using stick
shift gear box, other solution could be done by pushing the car to start the engine, while automatic gear boxes can not be start its engine by push or pull, because of the very high risks, due to 30 loose brake, steering, and may be more Figure no 1 is a drawing for the disc clutch arm motion

Figure No 4 virtual draw for The three positions micro- switch to explain how to control the electric motor
And its responsible about disconnect and connect the clutch disc in normal gear box
1. The micro-switch knob to control the electric commands, we press against knob impulsive
2. The knob control axis, which control the clutch disc
3. The three positions electric micro-switch
4. The arm of electric micro-switch
5. The electric micro-switch sensor
6. Electric light indicator to show where the clutch disc position is
7. Electric metal connector (traveller) dodging between the three positions 1, 0, 2, its axis is 8 for giving the electric commands
8. The electric metal connector axis to allow moving between the three positions
9. The connected lens for position 2 (the disconnection)
10. The connected lens for position 1 (the connection)
11. The space between the two lens is the 0 position, stop or break, its activated between the two limit point
12. The impulsive which push the knob toward right (means the impulsive try to exceed its angle)
13. The micro switch arm axis
Continue figure 4 1 (while the knob is released from any pressure) so the micro switch always at connecting position, position 1 , that means the clutch disc arm on connection mode
• . When we start pressing the knob, we will pass the 0 mode first 5 When we continue the pressing on the knob, micro switch will reach mode 2, that means the clutch disc arm will start disconnect mode
And when we stop pressing (with out releasing the knob) in a moment before reaching to limit point 2, so the arm will stop di- 10 rectly, if the situation need balance, we may press more for disconnecting, or release the knob for more connection, the same we are doing now by pressing clutch paddle by our foot, (the same what some drivers do while driving up a hill)
Whenever the knob is released, the electric motor will be back 15 to position 1 automatically, the brake will released, and the clutch arm will return to connection mode due to clutch disk impulsive
If we press the knob before reaching the electric motor to position 1, as we press the clutch paddle toward disconnection, (the 20 same what some drivers do while driving up a hill)
