ABSTRACT:
A safety guard for enclosing the flexible drive between an assemblage of a driving shaft and a driven shaft has a backplate with elongated openings. The driving and driven shafts extend through the elongated openings. A mounting track is attached to the rear of the backplate. A mounting nut is captured within the mounting track such that the nut can slide over the length of the track. A bolt fastens to the mounting nut to attack the backplate to the assemblage of the driving and driven shafts. In a preferred form, mounting strips having a slot are attached to the assemblage of the driving and driven shafts. The slots are preferably arranged in a direction that intersects the mounting track, and the bolt can be located along the slot. A cover can be releasably mounted against the backplate to form an enclosure. Closure strips are inserted into the portions of the elongated openings to further enclose the flexible drive.
