Abstract
The invention relates to a decoupling sleeve having driving and driven shafts connected by dog clutches. The driving shaft transmits torque to the driven shaft in one direction during a forward direction of rotation where a rod-shaped connecting member is connected to two shafts so that the connecting member is detached from one of the shafts if subject to a reverse torque beyond a specific threshold. The two shafts become free in rotation relative to one another upon this detachment.
