ABSTRACT:
A flexible member for coupling a driving member to a driven member is an elastomer element formed with a plurality of integrally formed segments of tapering cross sectional area and is provided at the intersections of the segments with connecting elements for connecting the flexible member to the driving and driven members; the connecting element is formed in a manner that prevents rotation of the elastomer member relative to each point of connection; the segments of the flexible member are shaped in such a manner to maximize resistance to deformation under the influence of torque loading and misalignment.
