Patent ID: 7048633

Claim:
An elastic coupling, comprising: a first coupling part; a second coupling part, wherein said first and second coupling parts are rotatable relative to one another and engage one another via elastomeric elements, and wherein a coupling gap remains between said first and second coupling parts; a marking disposed on an outer edge of one of said coupling parts; and an indicator plate disposed on an outer edge of the other of said coupling parts, wherein said marking and said indicator plate serve for a determination of a relative angle of torque of said first and second coupling parts, wherein said indicator plate comprises a scale which indicates an actual range that results from said angle of torgue, a maximum permissible range and an impermissible range, as an indication for the wear of said elastomeric elements, wherein said marking and said indicator plate are disposed on said coupling parts such that they are centered relative to one another, and wherein said marking and said indicator plate abut said coupling gap.
