Abstract:
An articulated joint for transmitting motion between two shafts has a hub rigidly associated with the end of a first shaft, and an outer body rigidly associated with the end of a second shaft. Radial interference members are arranged between the hub and the outer body, the members being adapted to rotate with respect to their own radial axis and to perform a translational motion with respect to a longitudinal direction and to rotationally rigidly couple the outer body and the hub, in order to allow the transmission of motion between the shafts even when their respective rotation axes are not coaxial.

The joint has spherical bodies (29a-29d), a circular cylindrical inner hub (20) in which hemispherical receiving sections (22a-22d) for receiving the spherical bodies (29a-29d) are formed in curved surfaces, and an outer hub (10) that has a receiving section (17) for receiving the inner hub (20) and also has longitudinal grooves (12a-12d) integrally formed with the receiving section (17) and in which the spherical bodies (29a-29d) received in the receiving sections (22a-22d) are received.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a constant velocity universal joint comprising at least two and at most three mobile parts, an outer element (1) and an inner element (4). One of the two ends of the aforementioned outer element (1) comprises a cavity (3) which is connected to one of the ends of the inner element (4), said end taking the form of a rod or a shaft (2, 7). The other ends of the inner (4) and outer (1) elements are preferably in the form of a sphere (5) comprising a slot (6) which surrounds said sphere partially or fully and from which the shaft (7) extends. Said slot (6) is connected to at least one contact element (11) which is disposed at at least one opening (13) in the above-mentioned cavity (3) in the outer element (1). Moreover, the inner (4) and outer (1) elements remain connected by means of a cover (8) which is nested on and fixed to the outer element (1), thereby covering said at least one opening (13) fully and said sphere (5) in part above the mid-plane thereof. The cover (8) is fixed to the outer element (1) using screws (10) or any other available fixing element. In addition, the invention relates to the rotation transmission device using same.
Abstract:
A universal joint assembly (200) includes an assembly housing (210), an assembly cap (215) coupled to the assembly housing (210), a rotatable mandrel (205), a plurality of substantially spherical drive balls (235), and a floating washer (220). The assembly housing (210) has a plurality of pockets (317) formed in an interior surface of the assembly housing (210). The rotatable mandrel (205) is fitted within a cavity (240) defined by the assembly housing (210) and the assembly cap (215) and has a plurality of pockets (237) configured to partially receive the drive balls (235). The substantially spherical drive balls (235) are rotatable within the cavity (240) about a central axis (202) of the mandrel. A substantially circular groove (239) formed in the cavity (240) is defined by a proximal end of the assembly cap (215) and an interior wall and a shoulder (231) of the assembly housing (210). The floating washer (220) is disposed within the substantially circular groove (239) and configured to radially displace within the groove (239).
Abstract:
Joint universel homocinétique comportant au moins deux et au maximum trois pièces mobiles et qui comprend deux éléments, l'un externe (1) et l'autre interne (4), l'une des deux extrémités dudit élément externe (1) comprenant une cavité (3) qui s'accouple à l'une des extrémités dudit élément interne (4) laquelle se présente sous la forme d'une tige ou un arbre (2, 7). L'autre des extrémités des deux éléments, externe (1) et interne (4), se présente, de préférence, sous la forme d'une sphère (5). Cette sphère (5) présente une fente (6) ménagée l'entourant en partie ou totalement, à partir de laquelle s'étend l'arbre (7). Ladite fente (6) est associée, à son tour, à au moins un élément de contact (11) localisé sur au moins un orifice (13) ménagé dans ladite cavité (3) dudit élément externe (1). D'autre part, les deux éléments interne (4) et externe (1), restent unis de par la présence d'un couvercle (8), emboîté et fixé sur ledit élément externe (1) recouvrant totalement ledit au moins un orifice (13) et ladite sphère (5) en partie au-dessus son plan médian (équatorial). La fixation dudit couvercle (8) audit élément extérieur (1) s'effectue à l'aide de vis (10) ou de tout autre élément de fixation connu. On revendique également le dispositif de transmission d'un mouvement de rotation le mettant en oeuvre.
