Description

S. M. GU'SS.
SHAFT-COUPLING.
Patented April ,4, 1876.
INVENT B 9 momma MPETERS, PHUYG-LITHOGRAPHER, WASHING UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFIGE.
SAMUEL MOSES GUSS, OF READING, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT lN SHAFT-COUPLINGS.
S ecification forming part of Leitcrs Patent No. 175,695, dated April 4, 1876; application filed February 5, 1876.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL M. GUss, of Reading, Berks count-y, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Shaft-Coupling, of which the following is a specification:
This improved coupling comprises a solid hub, with a central hole for the shaft, which is enlarged part of the circumference at each end, in which enlargement is fitted a bush, which is keyed firmly against the shaft, so as to press it very firmly against the part of the hole inwhich it is keyed, thus making a firm and substantial, and at the same time symmetrical, coupling. The parts ofthe solid hub are all cast together with the keyways, so that the coupling is made very cheaply.
Figure l is a longitudinal section of my improved coupling, taken on line or no of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line y y, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section taken on line .2 2, Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the hub, through the center of which is a hole, B, for the shafts (J, the hole being enlarged at each end D, and having a bush,
E, fitted in and keyed down on. the shaft by keys F, which firmly press the shaft against the side G of the hole, where it is secured against rev-'olving in the coupling by the key H.
The bushes are preferably located. on opposite sides of the hub; but they may be on the same side, if preferred.
Provision is made for extending the holes for the keys F entirely through the coupling, so that they can be readily driven out from the opposite end by a drift-pin to take off the couplings.
I am aware that the sleeve ends of two shafts have been heretofore coupled by a spline, gib, cross-keys, and screws; also by an end lock, bush, and screws but What I claim is- A sleeve and two shaft ends connected by longitudinal wedge-keys alone, the latter being driven diametrically on opposite sides of the shaft ends between the bushings and the sleeve, as and for the purpose specified.
SAMUEL MOSES GUSS.
