Abstract
Abstract A coupling device for two flanged shaft ends is disclosed. A tapered pin bolt having a conical shank is employed within a complementary, internally tapered expansion sleeve having longitudinal slit. The pin bolt and sleeve extend through aligned bores provided in the flanges. The pin bolt is externally threaded on its opposite ends extending from the conical shank. A nut having an internal, axially extending and pin arrangement is mounted over each respective end of the pin bolt.
