: This shaft coupling (10) is for connecting a first shaft (12) to a second shaft (14), each of said shafts having end flanges (16, 18), respectively, disposed in face-to-face relation. The coupling is provided with a key assembly (24) to transfer torque between the shafts, and a housing assembly to align and connect the shafts. The key assembly includes a key block (34) inserted into aligned peripherally accessible keyways (36, 38) formed in the respective flanges. The housing assembly includes a pair of semi-circular housing segments (28, 30) of generally U-shaped cross section which enclose the flanges, and diametrically opposed sets of pivotally mounted toggle bolt assemblies (32) to facilitate quick connection and disconnection of the coupling. The housing sidewalls (48, 50) and the flange faces (40, 42) are compatibly tapered to facilitate face-to-face flange and arcuate alignment of the shafts. |
