ABSTRACT:
A drive gear train including a flexible coupling built into one of the gears to absorb shock load forces generated during gear train operation. The flexible coupling can include an inner annular member having a series of circumferentially spaced vanes projecting away from the gear rotational axis, and an outer annular member having a series of circumferentially spaced vanes projecting toward the gear rotational axis in the spaces formed between the firstmentioned vanes. Resilient deformable plugs are disposed between the confronting vane surfaces to absorb peak load forces.
