Coupling for Gearing Shafts and the like.
I, EDUARD EUSKIRCHEN, Merchant, of Cologne, 4-6, Grosse Witschgasse, in
the Province of Rhineland and Kingdom of Prussia, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
The new coupling is represented in the accompanying drawing in Fig. 1 in
a side-view, in Fig. 2 in a view from the front with the tool used for driving the
coupling and in Fig. 3 in a longitudinal section.
The coupling consists essentially of a steel box B which is slit length ways at b
thereby causing it to act with the force of a spring, and has at each end a coned
outside screw-thread a upon which are screwed on a nut e which are held in
position by counter nuts D.
The manipulation of this coupling is very simple.
The box B after the nuts and at each end have been entirely removed or
at least screwed so far back towards the outer end that the box B, can be easily
pushed over the parts A'A² of the shaft that are to be connected and thus be
placed on them in such a manner that their joint lies in the middle of B.
Thereupon the nuts C are first of all put on and driven by being turned in the
direction towards the middle of B.
When in this way the box B is pressed with enough force against the shafts A¹
and A2 to cause them to be held immoveably together the counter-nut 1) is screwed
at each end against the nut C in order to prevent the latter from becoming loose.
The nuts C and 1) are provided for the purpose of turning them on their circum-
ference with a number of openings or borings c, into which fits the tooth d at the
point of the bow E of the tool Fused for screwing.
With this tool the nuts are turned round and driven on the conical screw
thread a as is usual in machinery.
This coupling is distinguished from others on the one hand by its great simplicity
and on the other by the absence of all screws, wedges and the like and also
furthermore, by the fact that it possesses no projecting parts which are liable to.
injure the hands of the workmen or to catch hold of their clothes and drag them
along so that accidents which occur so frequently with other couplings are not
likely to occur here.

of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in, and by the following statement:-
The new coupling is represented in the drawing filed with the Provisional
Specification in Fig. 1 in a side view, in Fig. 2 in a view from the front with the
tool used for driving the coupling and in Fig. 3 in a longitudinal section.
The coupling consists essentially of a steel box B which is slit lengthways at b
thereby causing it to act with the force of a spring, and has at each end a coned
outside screw-thread a upon which are screwed on a nut C which are held in
position by counter nuts D.
The manipulation of this coupling is very simple.
The box B after the nuts C and D at each end have been entirely removed or
at least screwed so far back towards the outer end that the box B, can be easily
pushed over the parts A¹ A2 of the shaft that are to be connected and thus be
placed on them in such a manner that their joint lies in the middle of B.
Thereupon the nuts C are first of all put on and driven by being turned in the
direction towards the middle of B.
When in this way the box B is pressed with enough force against the shafts A¹
and A2 to cause them to be held immoveably together the counter-nut D is screwed

The nuts C and D are provided for the purpose of turning them on their circum-

furthermore, by the fact that it possesses no projecting parts which are liable to
injure the hands of the workmen or to catch hold of their clothes and drag them
along so that accidents which occur so frequently with other couplings are not
likely to occur here.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The coupling for gearing shafts and the like, consisting of the box B, slit
lengthwise at b, with a coned outsid screw-thread a at each end and with a nut C
and a counter nut D on each thread a.
