  • Patent number: 8025577
    Abstract: A guard for shielding a coupling joint joining rotating shafts includes first and second cylindrical components configured to telescopingly adjustably engage to enclose the coupling joint. The cylindrical components are made from opposing identical semi-cylindrical cover halves, each with lateral flanges, with one set of lateral flanges forming an inwardly-facing longitudinal slot for slidably receiving the other pair of lateral flanges. A fastener extended through overlapping flanges fixes the length adjustment. A pair of supports includes a vertically adjustable bracket on spaced stands, the brackets being configured to wedgingly engage the supports when secured in a vertically adjusted position thereon. The cover halves, supports and brackets can be thermoformed from heat.
