The present invention relates generally to improvements in shaft coupler devices and more particularly to improved coupler devices in the nature of torque limiting clutch mechanisms. An embodiment of the present invention disclosed herein includes a plurality of yieldable beam members adapted to be supported by and to rotate with a driven shaft, the inner surfaces of said yieldable beam members being uniformally oriented circumferentially about and spaced from the axis of an associated supporting shaft so as to define a non-circular opening for accommodating a plurality of rotary coupling members as for example a plurality of rollers. These rollers revolve as a unit with and about the axis of a driving shaft and are maintained in engagement with the inner surface area of the yieldable beam members. |
