By the way, in the elastic shaft joint of the above embodiment, the elastic body 3 is interposed between the joint body 1 and the shaft 2 and between the pin 5 fixed to the joint body 1 and the through hole 2b of the shaft 2. Therefore, the clearance between the opposing plate pieces 1b, 1b of the joint body 1 and the flat tip portion 2a of the shaft 2 and the pin 5 fixed to the joint body 1 and the through hole 2 of the shaft 2 are set.
Even if the dimensional accuracy of the gap with b is not made highly accurate, the roughness of the dimensional accuracy can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the elastic body 3. In short, because it is not necessary to make the dimensional accuracy of each component so high, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, as compared to the structure using the damper of the conventional example, that each component can be easily manufactured. . Especially,
The joint body 1 can be manufactured simply by bending it into a U shape.
There is no need to bend it into a precise cylindrical shape as in the conventional example, and there is no need to butt weld the edges, which is quite easy. The shaft 2 can be manufactured only by forming a flat portion at the tip and does not require any special processing. Also, the elastic body 3
Also in this case, since the metal cylinder as in the conventional example is not used, its manufacture becomes easy. Further, as to the assembly, as described above, the elastic body 3 is inserted into the flat tip portion 2a, the sleeve 4 is inserted, the opposing plate pieces 1b and 1b of the joint body 1 are set inside, and the pin 5 is inserted. Since simple work such as crushing is required, assembly is easy as a whole, and this also works effectively in reducing the cost.
