Abstract
533,951. Universal joints. WILCOX, R. E. Aug. 24, 1939, No. 1827. [Class 80 (ii)] Balls c or rollers engage longitudinal grooves a<2>, b<2> in a spherical head a on a shaft a' and a socket b on a shaft b<1>. A retaining ring d with a felt or like packing e is fitted to the open end of the socket. The head a<1> has a projection a<3> adapted to form a thrust surface against the interior of the socket, but alternatively the thrust surface may project from the socket. The balls &c. may be retained in position by opposed springs h. In a modification, Fig. 3, the socket grooves b<2> may be formed in separate liners b<3> which are then driven into the socket. In a further modification, the socket forms the boss of a pulley. In a still further modification, Fig. 8, the socket b is in the form of a one-piece tubular housing, the balls or rollers being replaced by two curved keys f, f<1> connected together so as to turn on a ball pivot g. Lubricant may be supplied through a duct b<4>.
