Abstract

173,437. Robertson, W., and Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co., Ltd. Jan. 14, 1921. Addition to 128,788. Universal joints.-Means are provided to prevent friction in the joint described in the parent Specification due to the action of centrifugal force on the sliding and pivoted shoes. The shoes e slide in slots c in the spherical blocks b secured to each shaft and have circular projections f engaging holes in blocks g slidable axially in an outer sleeve i encircling the shaft ends. Tapered tie-rods 3 with heads 8, 9 pass through slots in the intermediate member and prevent relative outward movement of the shoes e, spaces 15 being left between the shoes e and blocks g to prevent friction due to elongation of the rods 3. The shoes e and blocks g may be interconnected by shoulders and removable rings, so that the spreading of the blocks also is prevented. Oil contained in reservoirs 12 in the shoes e is fed centrifugally through ducts 13 to the bearing surfaces.
