ABSTRACT:
A separable drive assembly including first and second shafts, the shafts being normally aligned axially in an end to end relationship, a coupling portion operatively connecting adjacent ends of the first and second shafts, the coupling portion including a resilient section extending between the adjacent ends of the first and second shafts, a connector section extending from one end of the resilient section, the connector section including an axial opening, the adjacent end of the first shaft engaging and being affixed within the connector section opening, a guide section extending from the opposite end of the resilient section, the guide section including an enlarged end section, an axial bore extending through the guide section, the bore being capable of slidably engaging the adjacent end of the second shaft, the axial bore through the guide section having a cross-section substantially the same as the cross-sectional configuration of the second shaft end but slightly larger; whereby moving the adjacent first and second shaft ends toward each other will cause the end of the second shaft to slidably engage the axial bore in the guide section of the coupling portion to operatively connect the first and second shafts in a drive assembly.
