ABSTRACT:
A guard for shielding a rotating coupling interconnecting two rotating driveshafts. The coupling guard includes an arched cover sleeve formed from a flexible, planar sheet of material, preferably plastic, secured with a pair of brackets to a frame structure adjacent the rotating shaft coupling. The cover sleeve defines two opposed end openings, through which the rotating shafts extend, on opposite sides of the rotating shaft coupling. Preferably, the sheet of material forming the sleeve is scored with longitudinally running grooves, which enhance the flexibility of the sheet. Also, the coupling guard preferably includes a pair of arcuate end caps that cover the end openings and have central voids to permit the driveshafts to extend therethrough.
