Zusammenfassung:A resilient shaft coupling wherein a pair of hub members is tied together for torque transmission by a flexible coupling member U-shaped in cross section and having generally the configuration of an automotive tire. Each hub member is provided with a torque-transmitting gear in mating engagement with a cooperating torque-transmitting gear on each of a pair of flange portions of the coupling member. The coupling is further provided with additional means for precluding disengagement of the mating torque-transmitting gears, and any undesired relative movement thereof. For these reasons the coupling allows transmission of relatively larger blocks of power than possible with comparable prior art resilient couplings, and transmission of blocks of power at higher numbers of revolution per unit of time than possible with comparable prior art resilient couplings.
