COUPLING DEVICE FOR A POWER TRANSMISSION SHAFT

摘要

COUPLING DEVICE FOR A POWER TRANSMISSION SHAFT A coupling device for making a driving connection between a power take-off shaft and a transmission shaft has a coupling hub mounted upon the power take-off shaft and a coupling drum which co-axially surrounds the coupling hub may be journalled upon the hub or attached to the tractor. A coupling sleeve on a power transmission shaft is detachably connected to the coupling hub by a quick release fastener means. The outer surface of the coupling drum has a pivot support upon which an actuating member is pivotally supported. The actuating member has one arm connected to the coupling sleeve and the other arm defines an operating lever such that pivoting of the operating lever will effect a relative axial movement of the coupling sleeve and the coupling hub.
