A joint assembly having a shaft with a retention notch, a joint coupling, a spring clip and a full insertion clip. The joint coupling including a body having a bore, with the bore receiving the shaft, and the body including a secondary fastener hole extending normal to the bore. The spring clip including a fixed end secured to the main body, a flexible middle portion, and a finger at an opposed end, the finger engaging the shaft as the shaft slides into the bore and extending into the retention notch when the shaft is in a fully inserted position. The full insertion clip having a first end secure to the main body, a flexible portion and an opposed second end having a fastener alignment hole, the fastener alignment hole aligning with the secondary fastener hole when not flexed and misaligning with the secondary fastener hole when flexed.

A universal joint is provided having a generally cup-shaped yolk. The yolk includes a base and a generally cylindrical wall projecting therefrom. The wall partially defines a cavity in the yolk. A shaft extends a longitudinal axis and has a ball on the first end thereof. The ball is receivable within the cavity and the yolk. Mounting structure is provided for pivotably supporting the ball in the cavity of the yolk.

An eccentric gear comprising a stationary gear wheel (2) and an eccentric gear wheel (9). The eccentric wheel is freely mounted on the input shaft and is driven round by eccentric means (4, 6) causing the eccentric wheel to roll round the internal teeth on the stationary wheel. A driving dog transmits the slow rotation of the eccentric wheel to an output shaft (14). Distinguishing for the invention is that the teeth are corrected such that the eccentric wheel is adjusted with the aid of the two eccentric means such that there is practically no backlash. A computer calculated least clearance between respective top lands on the teeth is obtained with respect to tooth meshing. The eccentric means comprises two cylindrical sleeves arranged eccentrically one in the other. At one end part of each of the sleeves, one of which is arranged eccentrically in the other, there is a radially outstanding tongue (5, 7). These tongues serve as counterweights balancing the imbalance moment of the satellite gear wheel which is due to its eccentric mounting on the input shaft. Backlash and play are eliminated by turning the sleeves of the eccentric means relative to each other.

A solid core (3) serves to transmit both torque and axial thrust (if any) between first and second end pieces (1 and 2) having longitudinal axes that may be up to 10.degree. out of alignment. The core is close to being cubical in shape, having two interfitting sets of three adjacent sides each comprising a first semicircular plane face, a semi-cylindrical face, and a second semicircular plane face. Concave recesses (10, 13) are provided in respective front faces of the two end pieces to receive each of the semi-cylindrical surfaces of the core. The "chunky" nature of the core maximizes the torque that can be transmitted in a given volume.

The universal joint (10) comprises a first shaft (12) having a head (14) with an annular cavity (16) therein in communication with an opening (18) in face (20) of head (14). A second shaft (30) has a pair of spaced arms (32) each terminating in an ear (34). The ears (34) are captured within the recesses (44) of a plastic cage member (40) mounted within cavity (16) by a pin (26). Resilient inserts (50) exert biasing force against the ears (34) to preload the universal joint (10) and eliminate free lash.

A universal joint of the present disclosure includes a first joint yoke and a second joint yoke. A first joint axis is formed at a first angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of a first shaft connected to the first joint yoke and a second joint axis is formed at a second angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of a second shaft connected to the second joint yoke. At least one of the first and second angles of the first and second joint yokes may be an obtuse angle or an acute angle. A connection element is configured to couple the first joint yoke to the second joint yoke via the first and second joint axes.

A motor includes a motor body, a pin, a core, and an input cam. The motor body includes a housing and an output shaft. The pin is arranged in the output shaft to extend in a direction orthogonal to a rotation axis of the output shaft. The core is pivotally supported by the pin and rotates coaxially with the output shaft. The input cam is annular and surrounds an outer circumference of the core. The input cam rotates integrally with the core. An end surface of the core closer to the housing includes a first deviated surface. The core includes an insertion portion into which the pin is inserted. When a center axis of the core is coaxial to the rotation axis of the output shaft, the first deviated surface is located at a position farther from the housing than the insertion portion.

A universal coupling is provided that aims to achieve constant velocity between the input and output shafts. The universal coupling also aims to increase the angle between input and output shafts over conventional double Cardan joints while maintaining constant velocity or near constant velocity therebetween. The universal coupling can employ a Sarrus type linkage in-between two universal joints of the Cardan type in a configuration that aims to achieve joint angles up to and including 90 degrees in the Y-Z plane, while maintaining constant velocity or near constant velocity therebetween.
