Abstract

766,435. Resilient joints. METALASTIK, Ltd. Aug. 23, 1954 [Aug. 22, 1953], No. 23219/53: Class 108(3). [Also in Group XXIV] A joint for transmitting torque or other mechanical force, whilst permitting relative angular movement, comprises a one-piece layer 13 of rubber &c., precompressed on a spherical inner member 11 by. a cup-shaped forged or pressed outer member 15 split in a radial or axial plane. The inner surface of the rubber before assembly conforms and may be bonded to the inner member, and its outer surface may be grooved as at 14 or flattened to prevent its entering the split. The members 11, 15 may be concentric or non-concentric, in which latter case the rubber may have increased thickness at the crown. The largest diameter of the inner member may be greater than the smallest of the outer, to prevent separation if the rubber fails. In Fig. 6 Prov., four such joints are arranged at opposite ends of two diameters at right angles and clamped in a split intermediate disc 22, with alternate inner members 11 bolted axially or radially to coupled shaft members 20 to form a universal joint.
