Abstract
Disclosed herein is a single piece unitary metal coupling having a first end and a second end and a convolution between the first and second ends. Further disclosed herein is a method for making a single piece unitary construction flexible coupling including machining from a starting material, one or more single piece unitary construction flexible couplings having a first coupling end and a second coupling end and one or more convolutions at the first and second ends.
Claims22
A single piece unitary metal coupling having a first end and a second end and a convolution between the first and second ends.
A flexible metal coupling comprising:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a first convolution at the first end and the second end;
- and
- wherein the flexible metal coupling is a single piece unitary construction.
A method for making a single piece unitary construction flexible coupling comprising:
- machining from a starting material, one or more single piece unitary construction flexible couplings having a first coupling end and a second coupling end and one or more convolutions at the first and second ends.
A coupling consisting of:
- a single unitary piece of metallic material having a first end and a second end and a convolution disposed at the first and second ends.
A coupling comprising:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a convolution disposed at the first and second ends, said convolution having a material thickness that decreases with increasing radial distance from the rotational axis of the coupling.
A coupling comprising:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a convolution disposed at the first end and second end the convolution having an outside surface an inside surface having different angles relative to an axis of the coupling.
