The driver when in positive engagement with the carrier member is adapted to rotate said carrier member, and the driver adapted when the object to be rotated and carried by the carrier member strikes an obstruction which impedes or prevents its rotation will operate to cause the driver to move axially with respect to the carrier so that the driver may continue to rotate without imparting a corresponding rotation to the carrier or driven member.
