Abstract

972,516. Universal joints. MAYBACHMOTORENBAU G.m.b.H. May 4, 1962 [May 5, 1961], No. 17314/62. Heading F2U. In a Hooke's type universal joint wherein needle roller bearings 34 are interposed between radial trunnion pins 42 and bearing bushes 36 in shaft forks 31, a more uniform loading over both the length and periphery of each bearing is obtained by radially outwardly tapering the shaft forks 31 and by forming the shaft forks 31 with a cross-section which increases on both sides of the maximum load zone. In addition the bearing bush 36, which is retained in the shaft forks 31 by a screw cap 37, is only supported by the fork 31 along the inner two-thirds of its length and the curved roots 50 of the trunnion pins 42 are deepened to assist uniformity of load distribution. The usual lubricating ducts 53, 54, 55 are provided, the latter, 55, of which may be widened.
