Abstract

A coupling for transmitting torque between a driving element and a driven element, one of which is rotatable about an axis an formed with an annular array or mounting holes centered on the axis, has an elastomeric ring centered on the axis and having a dished face concave toward and directed axially at one of the elements and an opposite generally planar face directed axially at the other of the elements. Respective face plates conform and are vulcanized to the faces. Formations serve for connecting the face plate of the planar face directly to the other element. An annular and thin coupling disk centered on the axis has an outer periphery and an inner periphery and an inner face turned toward the elastomeric ring and an outer face turned away therefrom. Bolts secure the disk outer periphery directly to an outer edge of the face plate of the dished face.
