ABSTRACT:
Disengageable clutch with two clutch flanges which enclose a meshing arrangement which can be released and closed by axially shifting one of the two clutch flanges. The meshing arrangement is formed by pairs of bores which are opposite each other in the flanges and by balls. A nut is used to engage the clutch, which nut can be screwed on the spindle carrying the clutch flanges. A spring between the nut and the movable clutch flange holds the clutch flanges and the meshing arrangements against each other in the disengaged state, but when the shaft is turned manually it allows the balls to jump out of one of the associated bores. The rotary position in which the clutch can be engaged by tightening the nut is easy to find on account of the click-stop action of the balls.
