ABSTRACT:
A one piece shaft clamp is disclosed having a flange and a tapered shank. The shaft clamp has a central bore that conforms in size and shape to the cress-sectional shape of a shaft. Relatively thin cuts are formed in the clamp through the shank and partially through the flange to form segments. Additional cuts are made in the flange adjacent the thin cuts to form relatively thin beams that resiliently interconnect the segments. The one piece shaft clamp is used in conjunction with a member that is to be secured to the shaft. The member has a tapered bore that mates with the tapered shank of the clamp so that when the shank is forced into the bore, the segments are urged into locking engagement with the shaft.
