Abstract
A speed reducer having a power takeoff sleeve loosely receives therein a shaft to be driven. Concentricity and a driving connection of the shaft and sleeve is effected by a pair of telescoping bushings having tapered interfitting surfaces in each end of the sleeve. The inner bushing of each pair is split and grips the shaft when drawn into the outer bushing by screw threaded means. The outer bushings are concentric with and rotatable in the sleeve ends and keyed therein to preclude axial movement. In a first modification the inner split bushings are keyed to both shaft and sleeve and in a second modification the shaft is keyed directly to the sleeve.
