The invention relates to a clutch mechanism for the transmission of a rotary movement from a gear arrangement comprising a first gear member and a second gear member. The first gear member is rotatable about a longitudinal axis but axially fixed wherein the first gear member, upon rotation, is arranged for translatively moving a second gear member which is prevented from rotating. The clutch mechanism comprises a circumferential shoulder arranged at the second gear member and at least one or a number of resilient clutch fingers with respective inclined inner surfaces arranged at the first gear member, the shoulder arranged for increasingly pressing against the inclined surfaces thereby flexing the clutch fingers outward when the shoulder reaches the clutch fingers in the course of its translation. The clutch mechanism further comprises tube arranged around the clutch fingers, the tube having a number of internal longitudinal splines for engaging the flexed-out clutch fingers.
