A flexible joint for a power transmission of the divided type includes an assembly of bolt hole metal sleeves disposed upon the drive side, and bolt hole metal sleeves disposed upon the driven side, arranged alternately upon the circumference of the transmission and linked together by joint elements, characterized in that the compressive rigidity of the joint elements upon which a compressive force acts under acceleration conditions is greater than the compressive rigidity of the joint elements upon which a tensile force acts under acceleration conditions, thereby realizing an optimum design in terms of both strength and economy.

A flexible rotary shaft coupling for marine use in a propeller shaft that isolates the vibration caused by axial forces on the propeller passing through an uneven wake. Torque is carried by a solid pin and link arrangement which produces negligible axial resistance. The coupling housing is substantially cup-shaped on one side and has a plunger on the other side and contains a very dense liquid or a very dense soft rubber mass formed to a hollow cylindrical shape within the coupling due to centrifugal force. This mass resists the fluctuating forces by the variation of the inside diameter of the hollow cylinder formed by centrifugal forces during rotation. Variation of stiffness of the cylindrical column is achieved by varying the distance between the coupling faces or sides.
