Abstract
A flexible coupling which permits both rotational and axial movement. An elastomeric member is sandwiched between two coupling members and is held in place in such a manner that the coupling members do not contact each other. Thus, each of the coupling members includes an elongated portion provided with projections which are received within cavities defined by radially extending fingers formed on the elastomeric member. The couplings are angularly offset 90.degree. with respect to each other. Portions of the elastomeric member are held in compression between ends of the elongated portion and retainers by screw fasteners. The retainers and the screw fasteners associated with one coupling member do not contact the other coupling member.
