Abstract
To facilitate assembly of a shaft coupling, a sleeve is provided with a polygon configuration either on the hub or in the polygonal opening of the drive side flange and is axially slidable in the matching polygon. Where the sleeve surrounds the hub, it is braced inwardly by the elastically compressible bodies between the sleeve the outer polygon. Where the sleeve fits against the outer polygon, it forms a cage retaining the elastically compressible bodies against a hub on the shaft for insertion into the opening in the flange.
