Abstract

A device used to achieve a releasable connection between two components and at least one shaft on which the components are rotatably mounted. A switching element that is mounted on the shaft can be coupled to one of the components in a non-rotatable fashion by relative motion in the axial direction of the shaft between the components and the switching element. Toothing profiles of the components each comprise at least two spaced-apart teeth rows. A toothing profile of the switching element is provided with at least three spaced-apart rows of teeth, of which at least two teeth rows of the switching element can be brought into a position where they overlap/engage with the two teeth rows of the first component and also where this happens for at least two of the three teeth rows of the switching element with the two teeth rows of the second component.
