The device is intended for use in coupling together the ends of two spaced apart shafts. The device consists principally of two opposing coupling hubs interconnected by a flexible coupling member. The coupling hubs are identical. The outer surface of each hub is flat. The interior of each coupling hub shows an internal hub having an opening therethrough to receive the end of one shaft. A set screw is provided in the inner hub to further secure the coupling hub to the shaft. The outer wall of the coupling hub presents a scalloped appearance with the points of the scallops directed inwardly. The outer wall is spaced from the inner hub which has an outer vertical surface of saw-toothed configuration. There is an opening through the outer wall of the coupling hub so that an Allen wrench or like device may be inserted therethrough to turn the set screw. The flexible coupling member interconnecting the two coupling hubs has a smooth cylindrical central section with a flange on each end. The outer vertical surface of the flange is scalloped to match the scalloped inner wall of the coupling hub. The cylindrical central portion of the flexible coupling member is hollow and the interior wall has a saw-toothed configuration which matches the saw-toothed configuration on the inner hub of the coupling hub.
