Abstract
A coupling mechanism employing connecting drive rods for the transmission of rotational drive between two shafts with intersecting axes of rotation. The mechanism provides; self-containment of the coupler, self-alignment and controlled axial displacement of the coupled shafts, pressure activated lubrication of the coupler mechanism, constant or variable angle of intersection of the coupled shafts, and constant angular velocity power transmission.
