ABSTRACT:
A bidirectional mechanical power coupler between power input and output means provides a firm connection in one direction and a resilient coupling in the opposite direction, particularly operable immediately after a rapid reversal of the mechanical drive direction. The coupler interconnects a common power source in a copier/duplicator with a reciprocating carriage for original document scanning. It is preferably implemented with a single pulley of coaxial hubs with an interposing arm extending from one hub into a spring-retaining groove in another hub.
