ABSTRACT:
A flexible coupling (10) includes a resilient body (12) for transferring torque and compensating for angular misalignment between first and second shaft members (14,16). A first pair of arms (28) connects the first shaft member (14) interlockingly to the resilient body (12) at one end (20) thereof, a second pair of arms (30) connects the second shaft member (16) interlockingly to the resilient body (12) at the other end (22), and first and second retaining members (32,34) releasably couple the resilient body (12) respectively to the first and second pairs of arms (28,30) at the opposite ends (22,20). Preferably, the resilient body (12) is of elastomeric material strengthened by a plurality of internal metal reinforcement members (86).
