Double clutch arrangement

A gear coupler for coupling a gear to a shaft includes a first coupling member which is connected for rotation with the shaft and a second coupling member which is connected for rotation with the gear and engageable by the first coupling member. The second coupling member is capable of limited circumferential movement relative to the gear to allow the first and second coupling members to engage each other without the need to rotate the gear. The advantage of this arrangement is that gears can be engaged without the operator needing to exert excessive actuation force on any actuating system which controls the movement of the coupler.
