RESILIENT CONNECTING MEANS

摘要

A connecting means is disclosed for resiliently connecting an elongate member to a driving means for imparting motion to the elongate member and is particularly suitable for connecting piston rods to driving heads of compressor systems. The connecting means includes a shoulder means adapted to be secured to the elongate member adjacent that end of the member to be secured to the driving means, a retaining means adapted to be secured to the driving means and which encompasses both the shoulder means and elongate member in spaced apart relationship, and a resilient member interposed between the retaining means and shoulder means for urging the shoulder means and elongate member toward the driving means.
