Abstract
A system for axially locking the end of a shaft in a sleeve whereby the shaft fits axially into the sleeve until both parts are fully engaged, in which both parts are locked together. Axial locking is achieved by a latch disposed on the outside of the sleeve and which pivots into a slot made in a wall of the sleeve, such that the latch can be inserted in an orifice of the shaft positioned opposite the slot when the shaft is fully engaged in the sleeve.
