A flexible transmission coupling comprises an annular resilient member made up from a number of small resilient plates joined and to end to form a ring. The shafts to be coupled are each formed with a fork or tripod at their ends and these are bolted to the ring at the junctions of the plates so that their ends are circumferentially displaced from one another. The plates have a stepped configuration with parallel end portions displaced from one another in a direction normal to the plane of the plates and incorporate a loop of reinforcing wire in the shape of a figure of eight.
