  • Publication number: 20060270479
    Abstract: A plastic slip clutch for an adjustable drive in an automobile with a hub (3) which exhibits an inner profile (4), and a shaft (1) which exhibits an outer profile (2), where for the purpose of transmitting torque the shaft with the outer profile is introduced into the inner profile of the hub in form-fitting and force-fitting fashion, and where the inner profile (4) of the hub (3) exhibits plastic elements (5) for the transmission of force, such that the plastic elements (5) become elastically deformed under the effect of a force exceeding a given threshold force and thereby permit the outer profile (2) of the shaft (1) to slip through inside of the hub (3).
