464069000 | Plural flexible links connected to circumferentially spaced axially directed pins on drive and driven members | 7 |
20080280689 | Double cardan joint - A compact heavy duty double universal joint is disclosed. The joint comprises a torque coupler having an interior bore and a pair of bosses adjacent each end, a pair of collars pivotally connect to the bosses, a pair of yokes pivotally connect to the collars and a centering rod assembly in the bore of the coupler. The centering rod assembly is operable, when the operating angle of the joint is not zero, to position the torque coupler so that it splits the operating angle of the universal joint. | 11-13-2008 |
20100093449 | DIAPHRAGM COUPLINGS - A diaphragm coupling having first and second diaphragm plates that are joined together around their outer edges. Each diaphragm plate has a central, axially-extending hub. The hub of the first plate supports within it a pin member having an outwardly projecting shoulder at each end adapted to engage an internal shoulder on the hub of the first plate at one end and an internal shoulder on the hub of the second plate at the other end so as to limit axial separation of the two hubs—from one another. | 04-15-2010 |
20120283028 | FLEXIBLE COUPLING AND VEHICLE MOTIVE POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS - A flexible coupling includes: spool members disposed equidistantly on a circumference; torque transmission lines disposed around adjacent pairs of the spool members; and an annular elastic body in which the spool members and the torque transmission lines are embedded. The torque transmission lines consist of first torque transmission lines, and second torque transmission lines whose total sum of cross-sectional area is a half of that of the first torque transmission lines. The flexible coupling is constructed so that the first torque transmission lines transmit positive torque and the second torque transmission lines transmit negative torque, and is incorporated into a vehicle motive power transmission apparatus that has a hypoid gear whose mesh transmission error is greater during transmission of negative torque than during transmission of positive torque. | 11-08-2012 |
20130172087 | ELASTIC JOINT BODY HAVING A COLLAR BUSHING ARRANGEMENT TO PROTECT LOOPS - The disclosure relates to an elastic joint body for a shaft arrangement for the articulated connection of two shaft sections, including a plurality of bushings disposed in the circumferential direction at predetermined angular distances relative to a central axis of the joint body, a plurality of loop bundles, wherein each loops around two adjacent bushings, and each bushing is looped by at least two loop bundles, and a rubber elastic casing, wherein the bushings are provided with a plurality of bushing components, and wherein a first bushing component has an axial shaft section against which one of the loop bundles rests, and wherein a second bushing component has a radial collar section against which the loop bundle rests. The first bushing component rests, without fixing, against the second bushing component in a contact zone offset relative to the loop bundle in the axial direction. | 07-04-2013 |
20140128167 | ELASTIC JOINT BODY - The present disclosure relates to an elastic joint body for a shaft arrangement for connecting two shaft portions in an articulated manner, comprising a plurality of bushings, at least one primary loop bundle, each of which loops a bushing pair consisting of two adjacent bushings, the pair being loadable in tension in the event of a torque transfer via the shaft portions, a support device arranged on at least one bushing for axially guiding the primary loop bundle, and an elastomeric casing into which the loop bundle, the support devices, and the bushings are at least partly embedded. The adjacent bushings of at least some of the bushing pairs are connected to each other in a force-transmitting manner via at least one additional loop bundle, the at least one additional bundle being arranged in the elastomeric casing in a region in which none of the primary loop bundles extend. | 05-08-2014 |
20140378234 | ELASTIC FORCE TRANSMISSION ELEMENT AND COUPLING DEVICE - The present invention relates to an elastic force transmission device | 12-25-2014 |
