Abstract
A slip clutch assembly includes a mandrel having a spring wound on a portion thereof. The spring effects torque transfer and, when further rotation is impaired, unwinds about the mandrel to prevent excessive torque transfer. Even after torque transfer is removed the driven element is securely positioned by the spring force.
