Abstract

881,355. Telescopic shafts. SCHROTER, K., and WALTERSCHEID-MULLER, B. Oct. 23, 1959 [Oct. 24, 1958; Nov. 27, 1958], No. 35960/59. Class 80 (2). A telescopic transmission shaft comprises telescopically slidable tubes 15, 16 formed with unequally spaced longitudinal ribs 17, 17a, the spacing between the ribs being alternately 85 and 95 degrees. In a modification, three unequally spaced ribs are provided. In a further modification, the cross-section of each tube is a combination of circular and rectangular forms, circular sections 24 being formed in the longer sides 21 of the rectangle and the diameter of the sections being equal to the length of the longer sides. The corners 23 of the rectangle thus form the unequally spaced ribs. Two telescopic shafts may be joined by inserting a tube of each shaft in the appropriately shaped bore of a collar. A telescopic shaft formed according to any one of the above embodiments provides a high resistance to relative rotation between its component tubes in relation to the weight of the shaft, but has low resistance to axial movement, and has good resistance to bending. Furthermore, the unequal spacing of the ribs facilitates correct assembly of the shafts, for example when it forms a variable length transmission shaft between universal joints.
