Quick-Change Rotational Coupling

Abstract

Rotational coupling designed to enable quick connection and disconnection of driving and driven components and to transmit torque without slippage. Originally designed to provide for quick adjustment of relative positions of chair and rotary motor drive for vestibular tests of human subjects in outer space. Also suitable for use in other situations in which turntables, rotating scientific instruments, or other equipment connected and disconnected frequently for adjustment or replacement. (Not suitable for replacement of permanent rotary couplings.)
