ABSTRACT:
A flexible coupling has an inner member and a resilient body mounted on the hub and connected thereto. A reinforcement ring is embedded within the resilient body. The ring has arcuately spaced tubes with tapered rubber liners. Fasteners for connecting the coupling to the flywheel are locatable within the rubber liners. The taper causes the fixing to induce a precompression in the rubber tubes when the coupling is assembled and fitted in place. The coupling minimizes backlash, provides extra torsional flexibility and permits blind assembly.
