Abstract
A flexible coupling comprises a flexible torque disc (24) having a first plurality of fixing points (24a) whereby it can be mounted upon a first rotatable component (12), in use, and a second plurality of fixing points (24b) whereby it can be mounted upon a second rotatable component (14), in use, a support ring (26), and mounting means (34) whereby the flexible torque disc (24) is secured to the support ring (26), the mounting means (34) restricting deflection of the flexible torque disc (24) relative to the support ring (26).
