DEFINITION

Classification: 475/346

Floating or flexible coupling or support:

(under subclass 331) Subject matter wherein one of the gears in said planetary gear transmission is moveable in an axial or radial, nonrotary, direction with respect to another of the gears to accommodate proper alignment of the gears; or which include connecting means between two shaft elements in a drive train* which permits a limited amount of relative movement between said shaft elements or permits rotation of said shaft elements when they are misaligned or angularly related; or which provides a flexible support for said planetary gear transmission; or which provides a resilient connection between a gear and its supporting or driving member.
