ABSTRACT:
The drive coupling assembly, which is adapted to drivingly connect together a drive member mounted for rotation about a first axis and a driven member mounted for rotation about a second axis generally coaxially with the first rotational axis, has identically arranged torque transmitting members mounted on the drive and driven members and connected together by a pair of resilient members extending transversely of the rotational axes. Each transmitting member includes a base portion for mounting on the associated drive member and driven member, first and second opposed wall sections extending axially from the base portion in spaced, parallel relationship on the opposite sides of the rotational axes. A first axially extending projection on the first wall section of one torque transmitting members extends in spaced, parallel relationship to a corresponding first axially extending projection on the first wall section of the other torque transmitting member. A second axially extending projection on the second wall of one torque transmitting member extends in spaced, parallel relationship to a corresponding second axially extending projection on the second wall section of the other torque transmitting member. The opposite ends of the resilient members are respectively mounted on the first and second projections so that torque is transmitted from the drive member to the driven member through compression of the resilient members. The wall sections terminate in edges which are spaced apart to permit limited rotational movement of one torque transmitting member relative to the other.
