Zusammenfassung:A mechanism is provided which is adaptable for connection between a drive and a rotatable shaft having a cutting member thereon to provide a driving connection therebetween when mechanical power flows from the drive to the shaft, the mechanism being axially static at all times and being operable to produce a self-actuating braking force on the shaft when the power flow is interrupted to prevent extended freewheeling of the shaft.
