1. A coupling apparatus for coupling between an input shaft of a to-be-driven apparatus and an output shaft of a drive apparatus for driving said to-be-driven apparatus, said coupling apparatus comprising: a gear coupling section, wherein said gear coupling section comprises a pair of first cylindrical bodies, said pair of first cylindrical bodies being fitted on said input shaft of said to-be-driven apparatus and said output shaft of said drive apparatus respectively and having first gears on outer periphery surfaces thereof respectively, a pair of second cylindrical bodies, said pair of second cylindrical bodies being loosely fitted on said pair of first cylindrical bodies to define a clearance therebetween and having second gears on inner surfaces thereof respectively, said second gears meshing with said pair of first gears respectively, a lubricating oil flowing hole extending through said second cylindrical bodies, and a coupler detachably connected to each of said second cylindrical bodies for detachably coupling said second cylindrical bodies with each other, wherein the second cylindrical bodies respectively overlap the input shaft and the output shaft when the coupler is connected to said second cylindrical bodies; anda lubricating section capable of supplying a lubricant between said gears, wherein said lubricating section includes an oil case underlying said gear coupling section to store lubricating oil as said lubricant, and said gears are immersed in the lubricating oil stored in said oil case and are thus lubricated in an oil bath, wherein lubricating oil in the clearance can flow to the oil case and lubricating oil in the oil case can flow to the clearance via said lubricating oil flowing hole, said gears being in mesh with each other so as to slide relatively in a face width direction with rotation of said input shaft,wherein said lubricating oil flowing hole is provided at an axial mid-portion of each of said second cylindrical bodies, and wherein said axial mid-portion axially overlaps said first cylindrical body. 2. A coupling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said to-be-driven apparatus is a kneader for kneading a specific material to be kneaded. 3. A coupling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a cover which together with said oil case covers an outer periphery side of said gear coupling section is mounted to an upper side of said oil case so that it can be opened and closed. 4. A coupling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said gear coupling section includes a guide member for scooping up the lubricating oil stored in said oil case and conducting the oil to said gears in said gear coupling section while rotating in accordance with drive of said output shaft of said drive apparatus. 5. A coupling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said lubricating section includes level detecting means for detecting the level of the lubricating oil stored in said oil case and alarm means for giving an alarm when the oil level detected by said level detecting means has become lower than a predetermined value. 6. A kneading apparatus including said coupling apparatus described in claim 2, wherein said gear coupling section is provided for each of said input shafts corresponding respectively to two rotors for kneading a to-be-kneaded material within a kneading chamber. 7. A drive apparatus including said coupling apparatus described in claim 1, wherein said gear coupling section is provided for each of said two output shafts provided in said drive apparatus. 8. Kneading equipment comprising a kneading apparatus having two input shafts, a drive apparatus having two output shafts corresponding to said two input shafts respectively, and said coupling apparatus described in claim 2 and having said gear coupling sections disposed between said corresponding input shafts and output shafts respectively. 9. Kneading equipment comprising a kneading apparatus, said kneading apparatus having said input shaft and being one of said to-be-driven apparatus, said drive apparatus having said output shaft corresponding to said input shaft, and said coupling apparatus described in claim 1, said coupling apparatus having said gear coupling section disposed between said corresponding input shaft and output shaft. 10. Kneading equipment according to claim 9, wherein said kneading apparatus has two input shafts, said drive apparatus has two output shafts corresponding to said two input shafts respectively, and said gear coupling section is provided for each of one corresponding pair of said input and output shafts and the other corresponding pair of said input and output shafts. 11. A coupling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein an axial length of each of said second cylindrical bodies and that of said coupler are each set shorter than the distance between an end face of said input shaft and that of said output shaft so that said second cylindrical bodies and said coupler can be pulled out from between both said end faces.
