ABSTRACT:
A rotatable driving connection between driving and driven parts of the type having abutments in one part engaging radially extending slots in the other part, the abutments preferably being arranged in groups so that the resultant of the forces in one group is perpendicular to the resultant of the forces in the other group. A metallic strip between the opposed abutment and slot surfaces on the drive side is resiliently bent so that it is relatively stiff and engages both the abutment and slot surfaces and is such that it flattens to increase its stiffness upon an increase in the driving load. The metallic strip between the other side of the abutment and its slot surface, which is preferably an integral extension of the strip on the drive side of the abutment, is more resilient than the strip on the drive side of the abutment and is arranged to normally urge its respective abutment and slot surfaces apart causing the drive side abutment/slot surfaces to engage their respective metallic strip, and concurrently preventing backlash and maintaining contact between the later abutment/slot surfaces indirectly via the strip to the opposite side of the abutment and through the abutment to the last said abutment surface.
