摘要:
An axially fixed transmission joint (10) has a first element (16) which is connected to a first shaft (12) and carries articulation elements (22) of the transmission joint (10) which interact with complementary bearing tracks (24) formed in a second element (18) of the transmission joint (10) which is connected to a second shaft (14). The transmission joint (10) further has an axial stop member (32) connected to the first element (16) which interacts with a complementary spherical stop surface (52) formed in a sealing boot (54) of the transmission joint (10) for immobilizing the first element (16) axially in relation to the second element (18) in at least one direction of relative axial displacement. The sealing boot (54) has a first end (58) which is fastened to the second element (18) and a second end (62) which is fastened to the first shaft (12).

A sealing boot for sealing a power transmitting mechanical joint, especially a mechanical joint which is subject to angular articulation between its input shaft and output shaft. The mechanical joint has an outer race which is a part of its output shaft, and the outer race has an external spherical surface. The sealing boot has a non-flexible portion which surrounds a portion of the outer race, and this non-flexible portion has a spherical inner surface which sealingly engages the external spherical sealing surface of the outer race in surface-to-surface contact. The non-flexible portion of the boot and the outer race of the joint can be articulated relative to one another without breaking the seal therebetween. In the preferred embodiment the remainder of the boot constitutes a non-pleated non-flexible second boot segment, one end of which is received in a spherical slot of the first non-flexible portion and the other end of which sealingly engages the input shaft of the mechanical joint. A portion of the articulation required of the power transmitting mechanical joint is obtained by the movement of the second boot segment in the spherical slot of the spherical boot segment. Additional articulation is provided by the spherical sliding of the spherical boot segment on the spherical surface of the outer race after the second boot segment bottoms in the spherical slot of the spherical boot segment.

In a universal joint, the inner joint member thereof is connected with one end of an intermediate element, with the other end of the intermediate element receiving an end of a sealing boot to enable the sealing boot to stretch over the outer joint member and to be firmly and tightly connected to a driveshaft and to the intermediate element in order to provide a safe sealing function which forms an enclosed system with connections which may be freely designed without limitation as to the adjoining components, the intention being to obtain a unit having the shortest possible axial length without restricting the angular articulation and axial mobility of the joint.

The apparatus prevents the unintentional removal of a universal joint of the type where a tubular outer member is provided on an end portion of a shaft. In this structure, plural longitudinal directional sliding grooves are arranged in parallel one with another and an inner member provided on an end portion of another shaft is provided with plural spherical surface members. These may be spherical surface rollers, balls or the like. The respective spherical surface members are in slidable engagement with associated sliding grooves. An open end of the outer member has an annular closure member and is provided with concave portions facing the respective spherical surface members in the sliding grooves. The inner surfaces are formed into spherical surfaces substantially in conformity with the spherical surfaces of the spherical surface members.

A steering drive axle assembly which comprises a steering knuckle having an integral reduced portion rigid with one end of an axle housing, a socket member having its reduced portion secured to internal extremity of a wheel mounting spindle and being supported by a pair of vertically spaced king pins which are respectively mounted to an upper wall and a lower wall of the steering knuckle so that it can move about the king pins. The steering drive axle assembly further comprises a shell housing which includes a substantially semi-spherical portion and a cylindrical extension which extends into rigid engagement with the reduced portion of the steering knuckle, a constant velocity universal joint which connects a drive and a driven shafts together being disposed within the shell housing, and a sealing member being provided in sealing contact against a smoothly spherical outer periphery of the shell housing.

A constant velocity joint includes a first shaft extending along an axis and rotatable about the axis. An outer race is connected to and rotatable with the first shaft. The outer race defines a compartment. A rotatable second shaft terminates at an inner race in the compartment. The inner race is rotatable with the outer race and is pivotably connected to the outer race such that the inner race and second shaft are pivotable relative to the outer race. A boot comprised of a flexible material has an upper region connected to the outer race and a lower region connected to the second shaft. A can overlies the boot and includes a shaping region for maintaining a shape of the boot along at least a portion of the boot as the boot expands. The can and boot permit the joint to be fully sealed with optimized performance.

A boot band for fixing a boot that is mounted to a constant velocity universal joint is clamped. The boot band and the constant velocity universal joint are aligned in phase with each other in a circumferential direction. An axial position of a clamping portion is thereafter aligned with an axial position of the boot band. Then, the boot band is clamped by the clamping portion.

A sealing boot assembly comprises a flexible boot having a first end in sealing engagement with an outer surface of a shaft to define an inner chamber therein. A venting orifice extends from the inner chamber through the flexible boot to ambient and a moisture-blocking, vapor-breathable membrane is disposed across the venting orifice between the inner chamber and ambient to vent gas from the inner chamber during high temperature operation of the shaft and to allow air to returns to the inner chamber upon cooling thereof.

A sealing element for sealing a joint chamber of a constant velocity joint is disclosed. The sealing element comprises an inner collar for providing a sealing connection relative to an inner joint part of the constant velocity joint, an outer collar for providing a sealing connection relative to an outer joint part of the constant velocity joint, and a membrane portion which extends between the inner collar and the outer collar. The membrane portion between the inner collar and the outer collar is fold-free and substantially conical in shape. A joint assembly having a constant velocity joint and a sealing element is also disclosed.
