Patent ID: 7997362

Claim:
A device for coupling a universal joint shaft to a power take-off shaft of a tractor, comprising: a first coupling mechanism arranged on a universal joint shaft; a second coupling mechanism arranged on the power take-off shaft of the tractor, said first and second coupling mechanism can be coupled for torque transmission; a coupling shield for coupling the first and second coupling mechanisms, said first coupling mechanism is at least indirectly rotationally supported by said coupling shield; a locking member is provided at said coupling shield wherein the at least one locking member has locking faces; and a bracket attachable on the rear of the tractor, the bracket has at least one locking device displaceable between an unlocking position and a locking position, said locking device comprises rocker levers that are pivotable between the unlocking position and the locking position and serve to engage behind the locking faces pulling said shield towards the bracket and the first coupling mechanism is transferred into a coupling position for coupling to the second coupling mechanism.
