Monobloc coupling

A coupling for coupling a torque transmitting device to a receiving device, comprising:

• a first linking section including a split hub and means for axially securing the torque transmitting device;
• an intermediate section including first and second claws, the first and second claws including, at end portions thereof, first and second longitudinal rims, respectively, the end portions of the claws lying in different, intersecting planes such that the end portions of the claws form an angle relative to one another and the first and second longitudinal rims fit into each other;
• and
• a second linking section for linking the coupling to a receiving device, the second linking section including at least one leg,
• wherein the first linking, intermediate, and second linking sections are connected to one another and axially aligned, the first linking, intermediate, and second linking sections are formed from a single sheet of material, a portion of the intermediate section is substantially circular, and the angle formed by the end portions of the claws is substantially a right angle.
