Abstract
A flexible coupling includes an input coupler including an inner face, an output coupler including an inner face, and a plurality of rigid linkages. Each rigid linkage is coupled between an input attachment point coupled to the inner face of the input coupler and an output attachment point coupled to the inner face of the output coupler. Each rigid linkage is pivotably and slidably coupled to the input attachment point and the output attachment point.
