    Patent number: 5848947
    Abstract: A pair of sprockets for use in a double chain and sprocket coupling for transmission of torque between shafts which are in approximate axial alignment with each other, and the abutting ends of which are closely spaced. Each of the sprockets is formed as one piece, and then cut into halves but for a web which is broken to separate the halve. The broken web serves to properly align and space the halves when placed over the end of a shaft to be coupled, and clamped thereon.
