ABSTRACT

A device for coupling two shafts adapted to turn about a common axis includes
a rotational coupling system associated with an axial retaining system. The
rotational coupling system includes conjugate profiles at the ends of the
shafts. The axial retaining system comprises a two-part sleeve coupled axially
to the shaft and cooperating with a spring disposed inside the sleeve. The end
of each shaft is surrounded by the sleeve. The spring operates after releasing
an arming system including studs on the sleeve cooperating with cams at the
end of one of the shafts.
