Abstract
A flexible coupler for rotary power transmission may have several rubber bushings oriented in a circle about a coupler axis. The bushings may join two flanged components to form a single coupler. A single coupler may be used in applications where the axes of two transmission shafts are not parallel. Two couplers may be joined by a transmission shaft for applications where the axes of two transmission shafts may be parallel but offset from each other.
