Stress dissipation gear and method of making same

A gear comprising:

• a central radial member having a central rotational axis therein with a pair of center side walls radially extending outward therefrom, said center side walls being bordered by an outside peripheral edge, said center side walls having a generally planar surface thereupon, said central radial member operable for being rotated about its central rotational axis by a power generating means;
• a radial rim member having the same central rotational axis as said central radial member, said radial rim member having geared-teeth extending outwardly therefrom, said radial rim member further having an inside rim surface being radially planar in attitude, said inside rim surface being of greater diametral circumference than the diametral circumference of said outside peripheral edge of said central radial member;
• and
• a resilient member being of radial disk-like shape with a pair of generally planar side faces thereof bordered by a top surface and a bottom surface, said resilient member being attached to said radial rim member and to a portion of said central radial member, said resilient member being clear of a small radial gap created between said outside peripheral edge of said central radial member and said radial rim member;
• whereby, said resilient member couples said radial rim member to said central radial member thereby allowing the geared-tooth portion of said radial rim member to transmit power to a mating part proximate thereto, said resilient member dissipating stresses created between said central radial member and said radial rim member with said center side walls substantially preventing said resilient member from allowing said radial rim member to angularly torque in a direction normal to the rotational axis of said gear.
