摘要： A method of manufacturing a universal joint outer housing (61) which produces an extrusion (60) which consists of two outer housings (61) instead of one. The outer housings (61) are formed adjacent to each other and are separated during the machining of the finished housings (61). This provides a significant cost savings by providing two extrusions during a process which originally produced only a single extrusion.

摘要： Dispositif tendeur (10) de courroies associé à un variateur de vitesse (8). On peut commander ledit tendeur (10) de sorte qu'il utilise une pompe (26) entraînée en continu par une poulie (18) à diamètre fixe montée à côté d'un actuateur rotatif (16) et qu'il entre en prise avec la courroie (2) passant autour de ladite poulie (18) de manière à la rendre tendue. Selon une variante de réalisation, un tendeur à actionnement linéaire (50) remplace l'actuateur rotatif (16) précité. Selon une autre variante, un actuateur linéaire (70) est monté sur un bras rotatif (71). Dans toutes ses variantes de réalisation, le tendeur entre en prise avec la courroie (2) passant autour des poulies respectives de manière à la rendre tendue.

摘要： A tripod constant velocity universal joint (22) having an annular outer member (24), an inner member (26) and three multiple component rollers (28). The interior surface of the outer member (24) has three longitudinal lobes (34) forming opposing pairs of parallel longitudinal guideways (36) which are engaged by the multiple component rollers (28). The inner member (26) is centrally positioned within the outer member (24) and has three trunnions (40) extending radially into the three longitudinal lobes (34). A multiple component roller (28) is pivotally attached to each of the trunnions (40). Each multiple component roller (28) has oppositely disposed pairs of elongated rollers (50), each of which engages an adjacent guideway (38) corresponds to its trunnion. The axis of rotation (54) of the elongated rollers (50) is substantially perpendicular to its adjacent guideway (38) each elongated roller (50) is mounted such that it can be axially displaced along its axis of rotation (54).

摘要： A triplan constant velocity universal joint (22) having an annular outer member (24), an inner member (26), three pairs of shoes (28) and three sets of four elongated rollers (30). The interior cavity (32) of the outer member (34) has three longitudinal lobes (36) forming opposing pairs of parallel longitudinal guideways (38) which mate with the elongated rollers (30). The inner member (26) is centrally positioned within the outer member (24) and has three trunnions (40), each extending radially into a respective one of the three longitudinal lobes (36). Each trunnion (40) has an associated pair of shoes (28). Both the trunnion (40) and its shoes (28) have mating truncated spherical surfaces (46) which permit the shoes (28) to pivot relative to the trunnion (40). The elongated rollers (30) are retained within longitudinal raceways (52) provided along the surface of each shoe (28) opposite its spherical surface (46). The elongated rollers (30) engage an adjacent longitudinal guideway (38) on either side of its trunnion (40). The elongated rollers (30) have barrel-shaped contours which mate with the contour of the bearing surfaces (48) and with the contour of their adjacent guideways (38) so as to provide line contact between the elongated rollers (30), the longitudinal bearing surface (48) and the adjacent guideways (38).

摘要： A telescopic triplan universal joint having an inner joint member (34) and an outer joint member (32). The outer joint member (32) has three longitudinal chambers (36) equally spaced about an axis of rotation. Each chamber (36) has a pair of face-to-face longitudinal guideways (40). The inner joint member (34) has three trunnions (52) which radially extend into the three longitudinal chambers (36). Each longitudinal guideway (40) is rollingly engaged by a planar roller bearing (56) which is movable therealong. A movable race (54) is disposed between each planar roller bearing (56) and the trunnion (52) extending into its associated chamber. The movable race (54) has a flat surface (62) engaging the planar roller bearing (56), a concave trunnion seat (64) mating with the spherical surface of the trunnion (52), and a pair of transverse stop abutments (66) which limit the longitudinal displacement of the planar roller bearing (56) along the guideways (40) relative to the movable race (54).

摘要： A clamping device (10) for clamping a hose, boot or the like (12) to a cylindrically-shaped structure (14) is disclosed. The clamping device (10) is a clamping band (20) having a body portion (28), an underlap end (34) having a pair of hooks (40) adjacent thereto, an overlap end (42) having a pair of shoulders (50) adjacent thereto for engaging the pair of hooks (40), and a clasp (52) for binding the overlapped portion of the clamping band (20) adjacent the overlap end (42). The overlap end (42) is elevated above the body portion (28) of the clamping band (20) so as to accommodate the underlap end (34) therebelow. As a result, no gap beneath the clamping band (20) is formed where the overlap end (42) extends radially outward to overlap the underlap end (34). Further, the profile of the clamping band (20) is limited to four thicknesses of the body portion (28) outside the perimeter of the hose or boot (12).

摘要： A constant velocity universal joint for transmitting driving torque between rotative members, such universal joint including a hub fixed to one of the rotative members and an outer joint member attached to the hub, an inner joint member attached to another one of the rotative members and a ball containing cage positioned between the outer joint member and the inner joint member. The balls are engaged in ball races positioned in the outer joint member and in the inner joint member. The ball races are sloped so as to provide maximum material at the location of highest stress, the major ball races being of the undercut free design.
