ELASTIC COUPLING Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F16D3/56 F16D3/74 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: elastic coupling consists of two end setting bushings interconnected with package of flexible elements. The flexible elements are interconnected with bridges. The end setting bushings and the package of flexible elements are made as a single part. The package of flexible elements corresponds to a slotted spring consisting of flat rings connected with symmetrically set off bridges. A spherical unit consisting of two cylinders with spherical recesses and spheres installed between them is secured inside the package of flexible elements between the end setting bushings.
