Abstract
A flexible couplingis constituted such that a drive-side plateand an intermediate plateare interconnected by first connection membersA toD having a rubber member in such a manner that they can move in a direction perpendicular to a direction for interconnecting pin membersandfor mounting the above first connection membersA toB, and the intermediate plateand a driven-side plateare interconnected by second connection membersA toD having the same constitution as the above first connection membersA toD and arranged perpendicular to the above first connection membersA toD in such a manner that they can move in a direction perpendicular to the above direction. Torque on the drive side can be transmitted to the driven side efficiently with simple constitution and the flexible coupling can be easily mounted.
