Apparatus for assembling two telescoping parts, of which at least one has a radially directed projection

An installation for assembling two parts adapted to be telescoped into one another, of which one part includes an axially directed projection which during telescoping of the parts engages into a correspondingly constructed recess of the other part, comprising

• means for holding a first one of said two parts against axial displacement,
• means for aligning the second part with the first part,
• means for rotating the second part about its longitudinal axis and for simultaneously axially displacing the second part to assemble the second part with the first part,
• retaining means for receiving the second part and for positioning the second part with respect to the first part in relation to a longitudinal center axis, spring loaded compression means for engaging the second part, slippage clutch means for engaging the spring loaded compression means, and
• threaded spindle means held by a rigid mounting means, for driving the slippage clutch means wherein the second part is a transmission input shaft installed in a vehicle transmission, the transmission input shaft comprising external toothed means,
• the first part comprising a clutch friction disk of a friction clutch means provided on a motor vehicle engine,
• the friction disk comprising internal toothed means receiving the external toothed means of the transmission input shaft, and wherein
• the retaining means comprises mounting plates arranged at the forward edge of the feed carriage means having a substantially rectilinear outer configuration, extending perpendicularly to the plane of the feed carriage means, and
• the retaining means further comprises three forwardly projecting mounting bolts means coordinated each to a through-bore means at a transmission flange means as well as at an engine flange means, the mounting bolt means having free end sections constructed conically shaped.
