Abstract
A detachable coupling is provided for transmitting mechanical rotation from a driving shaft to a driven shaft which extend substantially coaxially with one another. A spring apparatus is provided in the detachable coupling which acts axially and is rigid in the direction of rotation. The spring apparatus presses wedge-shaped catch slots of the detachable coupling in an axial direction against catch pins in the shafts.
