Abstract
Adjustable coupling device for driving a stirrer rod shank of devices including a stirrer lid positioned on a tin of paint located in a paint stirring machine. A first tube has an upper fork capable of being coupled to a shelf drive plate of the stirring machine, and a second tube whose height is equivalent to that of the first tube has a reduced diameter so that it can slide at a slight clearance within the first tube, with the stirrer rod shank projecting from the stirrer lid so that it can slide with a clearance along the second tube. Fastening of the second tube to the stirrer rod shank and of the second tube relative to the first tube secured against rotation and at the projecting height for coupling the fork to the machine shelf drive plate is effected by two set screws, of which one is, respectively, in engagement with the body of the second tube at the base thereof and tightened onto the stirrer rod shank, and the second screw in engagement with the body of the first tube at its base and tightened against the second tube.
