ABSTRACT:
A coupling device for coupling and decoupling first and second coaxial members comprises an annular member which is supported coaxially on one of the first and second members by means of a bi-directional lost motion connection so as to permit relative rotation of the annular member and the one of the first and second members about the common axis back and forth between first and second positions. A mechanism is provided for automatically adjusting the relative rotational position of the annular member and the one of the first and second members to a position midway between the first and second positions when the first and second members are decoupled, thereby insuring that bi-directional lost rotational motion can be attained during a subsequent coupling operation. The coupling device permits the correction of misalignment of splines on the coupling device and the other of the first and second members to be coupled.
