ABSTRACT:
A device for limiting the torque transmitted from a drive shaft to a driven shaft comprising a first body having a cylindrical portion and being adapted for rotation with one shaft and a second body having a cylindrical portion and being adapted for rotating the other shaft. The cylindrical portion of one body is mounted within the cylindrical portion of the other body for relative rotation with respect thereto about an axis which is eccentric to the axis of rotation of the one body. A pin carried by the cylindrical portion of the other body for radial movement with respect thereto has inner and outer ends, with the inner end held engaged with the cylindrical portion of the one body by a C-ring to allow the drive shaft to rotate the driven shaft until the torque transmitted between them overcomes the C-ring to allow the cylindrical portions of the bodies to rotate relatively to one another.
