CLUTCH FOR CONNECTING AXIALLY OFF-CENTERED MACHINE COMPONENTS
A clutch which contains two half-sections (10, 12) and three intermediate coupling elements (14, 16, 18), which are arranged to move freely between the half-sections (10, 12), rotating in relation to one another around common axes, (20, 22, 24) each of which is connected via a guide-piece with the first half-section (10) and via another guide-piece (26, 28, 30) whith the second half-section (12). In order to reduce the centripetal forces on the guide-pieces (36, 38) and thus enable the clutch to be used for higher rotation speeds, the bearings (36) are maintained, in the form of rubber bearings, in the half-sections (10, 12) or intermediate coupling elements (14, 16, 18). The guide-pieces (20, 22, 24, 30) are connected with journals (32, 34) and are in the form of flat strips (48, 50).
