Tech classifications: CPC F16D3/72 Yielding couplings; coupling that permit movement between the connected parts during the drive with the coupling parts connected by one or more intermediate members with axially-spaced attachments to the coupling parts

  • Inventor location: 9 East 39th Street, New York City

This invention relates to elastic shaft connection between a driving element and a driven element in order to keep the elements in alignment and to reduce the strain upon either of the elements by reason of the unbalanced condition between the power applied by the driving element and the resistance produced by the work accomplished by the driven element.

Objectives of the invention:

  • to provide means for 'limiting the torsional strain in either direction on a resilient element forming part of the invention and at the same time to provide a certain gripping of the driven and driving element.
  • to provide a resilient gripping member which surrounds the ends of the driving and driven elements so that these respective elements are released when the power ceases to be applied.
  • to provide means for cushioning the shock which accompanies such transmission of motion or arresting of motion from one part to the other 'so as to reduce wear and prevent damage to the parts of the mechanism to which it is applied, and in the drawing I have illustrated the invention ... as applied to the drive shaft of an automobile.

Evelyn Eliza Fairbanks Lanzius is the "Executrix" here, filing on behalf of the deceased George Lanzius.
