ABSTRACT:
In a torque-switched clutch between an input shaft and an output shaft, the clutch transferring into a release position from a positive-locking connection when a limiting torque is reached, at least one positive-locking element is connected to one of the shafts. The positive-locking element interacts with a positive-locking receiver of the other shaft. The positive-locking element is movable against a force out of a coupling position into a release position in a non-destructive manner. The positive-locking element is of latch type design and is mounted on the one shaft so as to be pivotable relative to that shaft for movement between a latch locking position and a latch overrun position.
