摘要：An assembly for coupling two selectively rotatable shafts is provided. Theassembly includes a first cross-member which is fixedly coupled to the first rotating shaft,and a second cross-member which is fixedly coupled to the second shaft. A third member
is pivotally coupled to the first and to the second cross-member and selectively pivotsabout a first axis. A fourth member is pivotally coupled to the first and to the secondcross-member and pivots about a second axis which is substantially perpendicular to thefirst axis. The third member and the fourth member cooperate to transmit torque fromthe first rotating shaft to the second shaft and substantially aligns the first and secondlongitudinal axes of symmetry of the first and second shafts while maintaining thealignment as torque is transmitted from the first rotating shaft to the second shaft. Thethird and fourth members are also movable from a first collapsed position to a secondexpanded position, thereby allowing the first rotating shaft and the second shaft toindependently move along the aligned longitudinal axes of symmetry.
