BI-DIRECTIONAL TORQUE-LIMITING INTERFACE

摘要

A bi-directional torque-limiting interface for rotary operating devices is shown and described. The interface includes a first section (14) receiving torque from a source, a second section (18) delivering the received torque to a rotary operating device and a coupler (22) is preloaded to a predetermined value and maintains a particular angular relationship between the first and second sections (14, 18) under normal operating conditions.
