Abstract

1435584 Hooke's joints GKN TRANSMISSIONS Ltd 13 May 1974 [16 May 1973] 23262/73 Heading F2U In a Hooke's joint in which yokes 10, 11 have apertures 15 in which bearing cups 16 are mounted, and in which needle bearings 31 are disposed between each bearing cup 16 and a respective trunnion 30 of a connecting piece 26, either the outer surface of the bearing cup 16 or the inner surface of the aperture 15 is formed slightly convex in cross-section (as viewed in Fig. 1) to permit pivoting of the bearing cup about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the yoke (axis 12 of the yoke 10 for the cup 16 shown in cross-section) to accommodate misalignment of the axes of trunnion (axis 27) and cup due to the clearance necessary for free rotation of the bearings 31. The cups 16 shown are each retained in their apertures by a plate element 20 which engages in rectilinear grooves 19 on either side of a recessed portion 17 of the respective yoke arm 14, and are resiliently urged towards the rotational axis of the yoke by bent-out tabs 22, a thrust washer 34 being provided between cup 16 and trunnion 30. An alternative embodiment to plate element 20 is the element 120 shown in Fig. 5, this having portions 121 to engage in the grooves at the side of recess 17, tabs 138 which engage in a groove in the end face of the bearing cup (Fig. 4, not shown) and has projections formed by distortions 136 which act as fulcra for the cup.
