ABSTRACT:
An elastic coupling having two coupling sections is provided. A first coupling section has a plurality of spaced-apart pockets disposed along an arc. Elastomeric elements are positively held in the pockets, and the second coupling section has projections that extend into the first coupling section respectively between two adjacent elastomeric elements. The elastomeric elements comprise two regions having different properties. The first region, which extends radially and is held in the pockets of the first coupling section via its ends, is more inherently stable than is the second region for the transmission of a peripheral force. The second region, which respectively faces one of the projections of the second coupling section, is more yielding than is the first region such that deformations can be introduced into the second region with the effect of a slight restoring force.
