Abstract
A drive coupling is fail-safed by providing an inner metallic member with a pair of machined opposing flat surfaces that can engage a pair of pins that are positioned in pockets in the intermediate elastomeric member. These pins are anchored in place with respect to the outer housing by staking the ends of the pins, or the like.
