ABSTRACT:
A flexible gear coupling which stirs the enclosed lubricant to extend the life of the lubricant. A stirring device is made of elastic material and has a first part which is fixed either to a sleeve or a pinion and a movable part which is moved by centrifugal force. The movable portion moves in the inner peripheral direction of the sleeve when the rotary shaft moves the gears. The movable portion is positioned within the enclosed lubricant. When the speed of the rotary shaft changes, the movable portion changes position and also moves the lubricant so as to gradually mix the lubricant.
