ABSTRACT:
A method and resulting coupler for uniting two shafts to effect mutual rotation. The coupler especially accommodates two different shaft diameters and provides a longitudinally extending slit passing through an outer wall of the coupler to expedite shaft installation and removal. The method allows the coupler to be made of a single piece of material and assures proper alignment of the two coupled shafts. A groove, extending only partially into the outer wall, facilitates flexing of the coupler for shaft installation and removal. Keyways extend on an interior wall of the coupler, the formation of which is facilitated by an arcuate inner groove.
