Abstract
A drive assembly, especially for agricultural implements with rotatingly driven masses, has a shear pin coupling ( ) with a coupling hub ( ) and a coupling sleeve ( ) rotatable relative to the coupling hub ( ). A ratchet gear ( ) supported on the coupling hub ( ) and rotatable relative to the coupling hub ( ) and the coupling sleeve ( ). All three components ( ) are connected to one another by the head screw ( ) constituting the shear pin. A ratchet (not illustrated) may engage a holding face of the ratchet gear ( ). This results in the head screw ( ) being sheared. As a result, the coupling sleeve ( ) is disconnected from the coupling hub ( ) in respect of drive.
