How do radial tooth clutches function?

tooth cluches

Greetings

I have a hard time understanding how the radial tooth clutch function when it stops transferring power .
Basically I understand that clutches:
1) transfer power from input shaft to output shaft
3) disengage when the torque transmitted has reached a certain limit ( normally when the sliding starts)

I would like to know how the disengagement happen in the case of radial toothed clutches as the input and output shaft are connected via coupled gears? do we have slipping in gear teeth?
thank you!

maybe
if the transmitted torque is too high it will generate a radial force big enough to push the gear of output shaft and here we stopped transferring power?

This type of clutch is not like the ones of your previous post, which reach a maximum torque and then slide or disengage.
This is not a clutch per se.

Part B is forced to slide over shaft 1, engaging and disengaging at will of operator.
It is common in automovile gear boxes.

Thank you very much this is what I wanted to know!

Here is a cleaned-up version of your figure (it still could be better). Can you give a link to the source?
