ABSTRACT:
A driveshaft coupling particularly suitable for vehicles characterized by its vibration damping ability. Drive and driven members in concentric relationship about an axis of rotation include spaced non-concentric surfaces between which elastomer elements are located. Relative rotation between the members compresses the elastomers to transfer torque. The members also include engageable abutment surfaces directly transferring torque metal-to-metal upon the occurrence of predetermined elastomer deformation.
