A quick coupling device for use in cold environments such as the Arctic to joint two shafts in an end-to-end relation which comprises a first hollow cylindrical body on one shaft end which has a cut out portion and carries a hollow, internally threaded stud opposite the cut out portion, and a second hollow cylindrical body carried by the other shaft end which has a corresponding cut out portion so that the first and second bodies can be mated together to form a continuous cylindrical body from one shaft end to the other shaft end, the second cylindrical body having a plate across the cut out portion with an aperture therein which aperture registers with the open end of the stud means when the first and second cylindrical bodies are mated whereby a threaded pin means can then be screwed into the stud means from outside the first cylindrical body and said pin means will extend through said stud means and into the plate aperture to physically join the first and second cylindrical bodies and, therefore, the two shafts ends to one another.

A cold weather coupling device for quick joining of two shafts in an end-to-end abutting relation comprising a first coupling means adapted to be carried by a first shaft end and comprising a first hollow cylindrical body having an arcuate cut out portion of said first body removed from a part but not all of the length of said first body and from the outer end of said first body, said outer end being the end furthest removed from said first shaft, an aperture in said first cylindrical body opposite said cut out portion, a hollow, internally threaded stud means which is open at both ends and which has one end fixed to said first body in registry with said aperture in said first body and extending into the interior of said first body until it reaches said cut out portion, a second coupling means adapted to be carried by a second shaft end and comprising a second hollow cylindrical body having an arcuate cut out portion of said second body removed from a part but not all of the length of said second body and from the outer end of said second body, said outer end being the end furthest removed from said second shaft, said cut out portion of said second body being sized to mate with said cut out portion of said first body to provide a continuous cylindrical body extending from one shaft end to the other shaft end, a plate means extending across the cut out portion of said second body, said plate means having an aperture therein, said plate aperture being located in said plate so that when said first and second bodies are mated to form said continuous body said plate aperture is in registry with the interior open end of said stud means so that a threaded pin means can be screwed into said stud means from outside said first body and said pin means will extend through said stud means and into said plate aperture thereby physically joining said first and second bodies and said first and second shafts to one another.
