Abstract

A multi-plate coupling includes two connecting flanges and an intermediate member arranged between the connecting flanges. A plate pack crown is arranged between each of the connecting flanges and the intermediate member. The plate pack crown is alternately connected to the associated connecting flange and the intermediate member by screw fasteners which are guided through continuous fastening bores arranged in the plate pack crown. At least one of the fastening bores of the plate pack crown has a contour diverging from the circular shape. A positive-locking element having a corresponding outer contour is inserted into the fastening bore. A component bears on the outer contour of the positive-locking element in a positive-locking manner and provides a bending edge for the plate pack crown.
