DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION OF FLEXIBLE COUPLINHi mechanical devices used for the transmission of cushion coupling is constructed of a special alloysteel and consists of a coil within a coil, wound in op-.

The end ofthe coupling is secured to the shaft by either a key orsetscrews, as shown at B and C. The space between theplug and the floating spindle is to allow for contractionand expansion of the spring lengthwise, as shown at space between the coupling and sleeve is to allowfor contraction and expansion of the spring lengthwise,a;-: shown at E. The floating spindle F limits the con-traction of the spring, and has a sliding movement inthe plug G. The sleeve H limits the expansion of thespring and has a sliding movement in the coupling. Fig. 2 illustrates an application of the flexible coup-ling. All couplings are made of cast iron and the com-pression sleeves of steel. It is the practice to make theinside diameter of the coil spring the same as the out-side diameter of the shafting with which it con
