Abstract
A coupling element for connection between a drive member and a driven member for transmitting torque has at least two similar part-circularly arcuate coupling bodies each formed by an arcuate row of elastomeric segments alternating with and vulcanized to rigid elasticity-limiting elements. The rows terminate at end parts formed with axially or radially throughgoing holes for attachment to the drive and driven members. A hinge assembly allows movement of the part-circular coupling bodies between a closed position forming a closed circle centered on an axis and an open position.
