This may be, and preferably is, enclosedin a pliable cover or tube 9 of cloth or other suitable material. The motor -M is providedfwith a 'thin metal 85 hub` l0 which has'rolled orotherwise formed 1 threads 11, receiving the contiguous end of, the coiled jacket 8, thus providing a simple` and effective and inexpensive form of con-f nection between the jacket and the inotor` The opposite or free` end of 'the iiexible jacket Sis similarly threaded in a thimble 12 suitably secured upon the con# n l tiguous end of the socket 7 j ,Y Y j Since they jacket of coiled wire 8 is closely coiled, when the jacket is Vin a straight line f position as showninFigs. `1 andB, the ,coils lie snug against keach other, but ifthe jacket `is bowedit will be seen that the concave side of' the bowed jacket forms, along each coil, a 100 pivot about which the convex curved edge ofV the bowed jacket,.separatesv or `opens pivot@ all-y as vis shown in Fig.k 2. This Vprovides for thev automatic disconnectionfof 'thedriv-f ing rod 6 andthe driven spindle 31 as is`105 shown in Fig. 2, becausejof the relative increasing in the length vof the flexible tube or jacket 8 without complementary, increase inthe length offtheflexible'shaft which therefore produces a differential movement 110 of the socket as to the rod a 6, -the socket shifting yforwardly alongfthe'rod and Jcarrying the driven spindle 3 out of engagement withithedriving rod ,c .Y
cluding the spindlev 3 and itsibarrel4, the
threaded end of the barrel fis applied to the;
socket 7 and turned in just sufcient to engage the driving lug cland the clutch javvs f 3', whereupon because of the rotation ofthe the spindlein thebearing 'or barrel 4 causes 'the' latter to quickly rotate into 'its finalgpo- 'stionin the threaded end of thelsoeket 7. l It'iv'ill therefore be `fgsreen that the tools'or iimplements,- applicable' to* the device,can"be 'applied' 'and removed? Without stopping the ,Op'erati'onof the motor y l i" Itis desirable' that-the dri'ving rod 6 be disconnected from' the drivenmeinber Saft er the shaft and .t`scasinghas been distort-V y 'edbeyond ai suitable angle, so asto reduce `thefriction ofthe leigible'l shaft lin the dis- 'f'torted casingl and also topre'vntj chattering of the Wheel driving jine'mberf. yf'The distortion o't' theshaft 5 propergout of a f straight line as the housing bends, further yserves as means for -ielatively-shifting the driving rod G'inw'ardly lrointh-e attached :driving spindle. c t i .Y Y
