Abstract

Difficulty in achieving the disconnection of two relatively rotatable elements (14) and (30) is avoided in a simple manual connect-disconnect operator which includes a coupling shaft (42) for interconnecting the rotary members (14), (30) and a translatable carrier (38) which journals the coupling shaft (42) for rotation about an axis and further mounts the coupling shaft (42) for movement between connect and disconnect positions. A yoke (60) is mounted on a pivot (66), (100) and is connected to the carrier (38) to move the coupling shaft (42) upon pivotal movement of the yoke (60). The support shaft (108) is mounted for reciprocating movement along its longitudinal axis and a handle (132) is pivotally mounted on the support shaft (108). A detent system (140), (142), (144), (146) provides for retaining the support shaft (108) in positions corresponding to the connect and disconnect positions by reciprocating and rotating the handle (132) along the axis of the support shaft (108) and a reciprocating motion to rotary converting motion mechanism (104), (106) interconnects the support shaft (108) and the yoke (60) so that when the support shaft (108) is moved along its axis by the handle (132), the yoke (60) will pivot to move the carrier (38) between the connect and disconnect positions.
