ABSTRACT:
An elastic shaft coupling for interconnecting a driving member and a driven member for joint rotation of the members about a generally common axis has an annular coupling element of elastic material between the driving and driven members and a plurality of angularly spaced metal bodies incorporated in the coupling element and provided with respective bores. Fastening screws extend through the bores and are threaded into the members so that the members are rotationally interconnected by the coupling element. One of the metal bodies is formed of two separate segments separated by a throughgoing split and also form an annular and axially open groove extending across the split. The coupling element can be spread at the split. A ring extends angularly across the split and fitted to and recessed in the groove.
