The balance lever coupling, also central buffer coupling with two screw coupling, is a coupler commonly used on narrow gauge railroads with tight curves. By swapping the pulling and pushing devices, the standard screw coupling used on standard gauge railroads became a center buffer coupling with one screw coupling on each side of the buffer.
The first mass-produced viscous couplings for a permanent 4WD off-road-capable vehicle were in the AMC Eagle, which was produced from 1980 to 1988 model years. [2] The AMC Eagle's single-speed model 119 New Process central differential used a viscous coupling filled with a liquid silicone-based material. [ 3 ]
Osterizer blenders tended towards heavy construction and motors. While this raised cost, many early-model Osterizers still function today, and are more powerful than a majority of contemporary consumer blenders. [citation needed]
The diagram from Beard's 1897 coupler patent [1]. Janney couplers were first patented in 1873 by Eli H. Janney (U.S. patent 138,405). [2] [3] Andrew Jackson Beard was amongst various inventors that made a multitude of improvements to the knuckle coupler; [1] Beard's patents were U.S. patent 594,059 granted 23 November 1897, which then sold for approximately $50,000, and U.S. patent 624,901 ...
A driveshaft coupling. Note the split damage beginning to appear, likely due to the large axial displacement. A giubo. A giubo (/ ˈ dʒ uː b oʊ / JOO-boh; etymology: giunto Boschi, "Boschi joint"), also known as a 'flexdisc', and sometimes misspelled as guibo, is a flexible coupling used to transmit rotational torque between the drive shaft and the companion flange on mechanical devices ...
Coupling, a mechanical device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power, including flexible couplings; Rotary union, a coupling for passing fluid through a rotating joint; Pivot joint, between animal bones; Slip ring assembly, used to send electrical power and signals across a rotating connection
The Geislinger coupling is an all-metal coupling for rotating shafts. It is elastic in torsion, allowing it to absorb torsional vibration. [1] Unlike some other coupling types, it is not intended to compensate for high radial misalignment between shafts, but it can compensate for axial misalignments better than elastomer couplings.
Coupler, a device used on a pipe organ or harpsichord to allow a player to play multiple divisions at once, by means of "coupling" a division to another at either sub, super, or octave pitches; Coupler, a tap valve, for controlling the release of beer out of a keg; Coupler, the floating link in a four-bar linkage
