Abstract
A sliding clutch for torsion-limiting force transmission between a reel and a rotating part includes two bearing members disposed concentrically within one another. One of the bearing elements is formed by a circular bearing sleeve which is radially resiliently deformable transverse to its rotational axis. The bearing sleeve and the opposing bearing member abut each other in the region of a circular joint and the force transmission is effected by frictional slaving in the region of the joint. With a view to improving the frictional slaving, a tensioning element is provided on the side of the bearing sleeve opposite the side adjacent the bearing member such that the tensioning element presses against the bearing sleeve to bias the bearing sleeve against the opposing bearing member.
