Abstract
A drive mechanism for accessory assemblies of a reciprocating internal combustion engine having a switchable planetary transmission which is positioned concentrically to the crankshaft and is driven by the latter. To prevent the noise- and wear-producing vibrations of the free end of the crankshaft from reaching the planetary transmission, a vibration isolator which functions as a cross-recess coupling is provided between the crankshaft and the planetary transmission.
