Abstract

384,057. Roller bearings; lubricating. WARNER, A. A., 2003, Clawson, Royal Oak, Michigan, U.S.A. Nov. 14, 1931, No. 31601. [Classes 12 (i) and 12 (ii).] The trunnion bearings of a universal joint are arranged to utilize the centrifugal force of rotation of the joint to prevent ingress of dirt &c. into the bearings. The joint is of the single Hooke's type, the trunnion bearings 29 being bolted between the two halves of a radially divided torque ring 54 located on shoulders 42 on the bearings. One fork 10 is bifurcated, and has integral trunnions 13, 14, the other carrying a single transverse trunnion pin 24. At the base of the trunnion are two tianged collars, one 43 press-fitted on the trunnion, the other 35 press-fitted in an enlarged bore of the trunnion bearing 29. The annular end of the bearing 29 enters an outer flange of the collar 43 leaving only a narrow annular space through which dirt must pass radially inwards against the direction of the centrifugal force if it is to gain access to the bearing. Packing 50, between the flat surfaces of the collars, prevents escape of lubricant, which is contained in reservoirs 17 bored in the end of the trunnions. The trunnion pins have roller bearings, the rollers 32 of which are maintained in position in the bearing 29, whether this latter is in position, or is removed, by reduced ends 33 of the rollers engaging externally an inturned flange on the collar 35 and internally an annular groove 31 in the base of the bearing 29, provided primarily to facilitate grinding a thrust face in the bearing. Fig. 7 shows two joints mounted one at each end of a telescopic motor-vehicle drive shaft comprising splined inner and outer members 67, 65, seamwelded as at 66 to the trunnion forks, one 60 of which is formed with a hollow space 62 filled with lubricant through a screw-plugged aperture 70. The lubricant is drawn from this space into the splines by the pumping action created by relative movement of the shaft members, there being a packing 68 and an air vent 61 in the trunnion fork 60 to allow this action. Packing 73 is provided at the opposite end of the outer member 65.
