Abstract

See full text

A flexible propeller shaft coupling affixes a propeller shaft to a drive line module or component. The coupling includes a flexible annular member having a plurality of recesses disposed about a common axis for receiving respective retention members and a plurality of bosses disposed about the common axis adapted to mate with a driveline module flange. A retaining member connects the coupling to the propeller shaft and the drive line module flange. The retaining member prevents the propeller shaft from decoupling from the vehicle in the event of a joint or fastener failure.
