Abstract
Difficulties in interrupting a mechanical power transmission path may be minimized in a manual connect-disconnect operator which includes a coupling shaft (38) and a translatable carrier (28) journalling the coupling shaft (38) for rotation about an axis and mounting the coupling shaft (38) for axial movement along the axis between connect and disconnect positions. A yoke (52) is mounted on a pivot (54) and is connected to the carrier (28) for translating the carrier (28) to move the coupling shaft (38) upon pivotal movement of the yoke (52). A manual actuator (78) is mounted for reciprocating movement and a detent mechanism (92), (94), (100), (102), (104), (106), (108) is operable to maintain the carrier (28) in either of the positions.
