A flexible coupling for connecting two shafts in end-to-end relation in which spaced flanges for mounting the coupling on the shafts include an annular radial portion with pins mounted on the internal surface and a flexible torsional element disposed between the two flanges and embracing the pins. The flexible element of rubber or rubber-like material has spaced, inwardly extending side walls in which the holes for receiving the pins are disposed, and the element is preferably of a U-shaped cross sectional configuration. An axial and radial slit is provided in the element to permit it to be opened up for installation and removal without displacing the flanges. |
