ABSTRACT:
A planar coupling having a first coupling plate connected drivably to a torque input member and a second coupling plate connected to a torque output member, the first coupling plate being mounted for rotation relative to the second coupling plate, the first plate having angularly spaced recesses at uniform radial distances from the axis of the assembly, the second coupling plate having cooperating recesses in which are positioned force transmitting struts that are biased in an axial direction relative to the axis of the assembly so that upon relative rotation of the coupling plates, the struts in the second coupling plate will engage the recesses in the first coupling plate, the geometry of the struts providing for simplified manufacture and for reduced stresses in the struts as they engage the coupling plate recesses.
