Abstract

968,837. Universal joints; shafts; seals. BIRFIELD ENGINEERING Ltd. Feb. 13, 1961 [March 4, 1960], No. 7675/60. Headings F2B and F2U. A Hooke's joint with an intermediate cross 5 has a resilient sealing ring 17 at the inner end of each arm of the cross located between a supporting thimble 9 and a surface 18 on the arm which increases in diameter towards the centre of the joint. As shown, the surface 18 is of generally barrel shape, the diameter of its cross-section being proportional to the cube of the distance of the cross-section from the point of application of the bearing load to the arm. The sealing ring 17, which may be of plastic bounded cork composition, or polyurethane &c. oil-resistant rubber-like synthetic material, is initially of rectangular crosssection and is retained in a flanged ring 16 press-fitted into the thimble 9. Lubricant is retained within the thimbles 9 by the sealing rings 17. The fork 3 in which two of the thimbles 9 are mounted is pinned to a motor vehicle propeller shaft 1.
