Abstract
A center member is disposed between a pair of end members. A cylindrical member is accepted in a hole in one of said end members and an other cylindrical member is accepted in a cavity formed by the cooperative arrangement of the other of the end members and the center member whereby the one and the other cylindrical members which are in parallel planes are coupled. The arrangement is such that cylindrical members of varying diameters and having their axes angularly displaced relative to each other within their parallel planes are accommodated.
Claims7
A coupling arrangement for coupling one cylindrical member in one plane to an other cylindrical member in an other plane parallel to the one plane, comprising:
- a first end member;
- a second end member;
- a center member disposed between the first and second end members;
- the first end member having a transversely extending hole which accepts the one cylindrical member of a finite diameter;
- the center and second end members cooperating to provide a transversely extending opening for accepting the other cylindrical member of varying diameters, whereby the one and the other cylindrical members are coupled together;
- the first and second end members and the center member being in a common plane;
- and
- the first end member being angularly displaceable in the common plane, whereby the transversely extending hole accepts the one cylindrical member when said one cylindrical member is displaced in the one plane relative to the other cylindrical member in the other plane parallel to the one plane.
