In a rotation transfer device, a paper feeding apparatus and an image forming apparatus, transfer projections are disposed on coupling members provided on the ends of a driving shaft and a driven shaft, so that the movement of one transfer projection in the peripheral direction can be constrained by the other transfer projection and a positioning member. Thus, rotation irregularity caused by reverse rotation torque applied by a function from the side of paper can be prevented.

A downhole drilling apparatus which includes a drive train having a downhole motor device and a coupling for permitting bending of the drive shaft to accommodate directional drilling. The coupling includes two distinct portions. The first portion transmits torque only and the second portion transmits thrust only. Thus, the coupling transmits torque and thrust through different portions. This makes it possible to optimize the coupling design to allow bending while still being able to transmit the loads experienced downhole. The downhole motor may be a progressive cavity device, a turbine-type downhole motor or another type of downhole motor such as an electric motor.

A mechanism for transmitting torque from one shaft to another shaft includes a formation attached to one shaft, the formation defining a plurality of cylindrical surfaces each having radius R, the axes of the cylindrical surfaces being parallel and disposed at angularly spaced locations about a circle of radius M, each cylindrical surface is engaged by a cylindrical bearing formation attached to the other shaft, each bearing formation having a radius r and being disposed in similar angular relationship to the cylindrical surfaces about a circle of axis inclined at angle to the axes of the cylindrical surfaces, the radius of the circle upon which the bearing formations are disposed being equal to M/(1+cos) and the radius R of the cylindrical surfaces being equal to r+M(1-cos)/(1+cos).

A power transmission joint comprises a pair of rotational members each having a rotation axis and arranged so as to be axially spaced from each other. A guide pin is disposed between the pair of rotational members and has an end portion thereof rotatably and swingably engaged with opposite end portions of the rotational members at rotation axes, respectively. A pair of drive pins are arranged symmetrically with respect to and in parallel to an axis of the guide pin and each is engaged with the opposite ends of the rotational members so as to transmit torque while allowing the drive pins to slide in a radial direction on the rotational members, swing and axially slide. A member is disposed between the pair of rotational members and rigidly ties the guide pin and the drive pins to keep a prescribed fixed relation therebetween.

A constant velocity joint (10) is provided specifically for connecting a yoke (14) to a mast (12) in a helicopter and more generally (200) for interconnecting a first shaft (202) to a second shaft (204) for bidirectional drive. The constant velocity joint employs a carrier (40, 218) which is formed with a series of apertures for receiving elastomeric bearing assemblies (42, 80, 220). The elastomeric bearing assemblies are provided with a spherical elastomeric bearing (60) and a cylindrical elastomeric bearing (48). Certain of the elastomeric bearing assemblies connect the carrier to one of the rotating members while the remaining elastomeric bearing assemblies connect the other rotating member to the carrier. The axis of symmetry (67) of the carrier always bisects the angle of misalignment between the two rotating shafts or members to assure that a constant velocity joint is achieved.

A constant-velocity transmission, particularly for connecting the drive motor to the driving axle of a motorized railway vehicle, comprises two hollow coaxial shafts interconnected by a resilient coupling and provided with respective end flanges articulated, through two groups of four connecting rods, to respective flanges of a hollow driven shaft and a hollow driving shaft coupled for rotation with the axle. The transmission allows considerable relative movements, both radial and axial, between the driving and driven shafts without the use of members which require lubrication.

The latching mechanism comprises a pivotable member that cooperates with a contact member for coupling the contact member to the pivotable member. A drive mechanism moves the contact member into contact with the pivotable member thereby pivoting the pivotable member and allowing the contact member to seat in the pivotable member. A biasing mechanism urges the pivotable member into its initial position. The drive mechanism can be also utilized to release the contact member from the pivotable member.

摘要:
Gimballed coupling for use with a lead screw and nut assembly having a housing with the nut mounted in the housing and the nut threadedly engaging the lead screw. A transfer plate is provided. A thrust bearing assembly is carried by the transfer plate. First and second bearing members are provided which are disposed between the nut and the thrust bearing assembly. The first bearing member engages the housing and the second bearing member engages the thrust bearing. The first and second bearing members have cooperative spherical surfaces to permit the pivotal movement of the nut with respect to the transfer plate. Means is carried by the transfer plate and the housing for yieldably urging the housing towards the transfer plate. Additional means is provided for preventing rotation of the housing with respect to the transfer plate.
