ABSTRACT:
A shock absorbing device for a watercraft propeller is provided that can include an outer tube unitarily formed with blades of a propeller. An inner tube can be coupled with a propeller shaft. An intermediate tube can be positioned between the outer tube and the inner tube. A first damping means can be placed between the intermediate tube and the outer tube. A second damping means can be placed between the intermediate tube and the inner tube. One of the damping means can include a rubber damper interposed between the inner tube and the intermediate tube, and an engaging means for limiting an angle range in which the inner tube and the intermediate tube can be rotatable relative to each other to a predetermined angle range. The rubber damper can have a spring constant with which elastic deformation thereof begins at a moment that the propeller shaft initiates its rotation. The other damping means includes a torque limiter (tolerance rings16) having a circumferential surface that slips against frictional resistance.
