MOULD DRUM, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOULDING AND A METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A MOULD DRUM
A mould drum, a system for moulding comprising a mould drum, a method for moulding, and a method for manufacturing a mould drum such that the mould drum includes a mould tube defining an outer circumferential surface with groups of multiple recessed mould cavities. The mould tube has a first mould tube head end. The mould drum includes a driven flange structure arranged against the first mould tube head end, which is adapted to be driven by a mould drum drive member to rotate the mould tube about a drum rotation axis. The driven flange structure is provided with a tooth profile, and the mould tube is provided with a meshing tooth profile, both tooth profiles meshing with each other and thereby being able to transfer torque from the driven flange structure to the mould tube.
Remanufactured pinion shaft and method of making
A remanufactured pinion shaft includes a salvage member secured to a replacement member. The salvage member may be formed from a damaged pinion shaft and includes first gear teeth proximate a first axial end and a first alignment member proximate a second axial end. The replacement member includes second gear teeth proximate a first axial end and a second alignment member proximate a second axial end. The first alignment member and the second alignment member cooperate to transmit rotational motion between the first salvage member and the replacement member and/or align the salvage member relative to the replacement member.
HUB ASSEMBLY FOR HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
A hub assembly is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The hub assembly includes a hub axle, a hub body, a pawl support body, at least one pawl, a sprocket support body, at least one sprocket support bearing, a ratchet body and a plurality of ratchet teeth. The hub body is rotatably mounted on the hub axle. The pawl support body is connected to the hub body. The pawl is movable between a driving position and a non-driving position. The at sprocket support bearing rotatably supports the sprocket support body on the hub axle. The ratchet body is connected to the sprocket support body. The ratchet teeth engage the pawl to transmit a driving force from the sprocket support body to the hub body while rotating in a driving rotational direction. The sprocket support bearing is disposed opposite to the hub body with respect to the ratchet teeth.

TRANSFER CASE WITH ACTIVE CLUTCH ON FRONT OUTPUT AND PASS-THRU REAR OUTPUT
A transfer case for use in a four-wheel drive vehicle and having a clutch assembly disposed on a front output and a pass-through rear output arrangement. The front output is a front output shall. The rear output is established by directly interconnecting a transmission output shaft to an end segment of a rear propshaft. A transfer assembly is driven by the transmission output shaft and can be selectively coupled to the front output shaft via the clutch assembly.
DRIVE TRANSMISSION DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCORPORATING SAME
A drive transmission device includes a first rotary body coupled to a drive source, a second rotary body that receives a drive force transmitted from the drive source, a coupling that couples the first rotary body and the second rotary body, and a spring that presses the coupling toward the second rotary body. Each of the first rotary body and the second rotary body includes a plurality of grooves. The coupling has axially opposed first end and second end coupled to the first rotary body and the second rotary body, respectively. The coupling includes a plurality of couplers on a circumferential surface of each of the first end and the second end. The plurality of couplers are axially movable into and out of the plurality of grooves of each of the first rotary body and the second rotary body. The coupling has a spherical end face at the second end.

WORK TOOL AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM THEREOF
A work tool and transmission system thereof. The transmission system comprises: a first shaft (250) and a second shaft (350), a near end (351) of the second shaft having a first mating part; a shaft coupler (600), a far-side part (620) of the shaft coupler having a second mating part matched in shape to the first mating part; and a coupling mechanism capable of directly or indirectly applying a coupling force to at least one of the first shaft, the second shaft and the shaft coupler; when the far-side part of the shaft coupler is aligned with the near end of the second shaft in the circumferential direction, the coupling force forces the first mating part to engage with the second mating part, so that the shaft coupler transmits rotational movement of the first shaft to the second shaft. The work tool comprises: a transmission system; a motive power head transmission-connected to the first shaft (250); and a working head transmission-connected to the second shaft (350).

Connecting Structure Mounting Wheel To Half Shaft
A half shaft connects to the mounting bracket of the wheel in a splined connection. The straight external spline of the half shaft is modified to a helical or involute external spline, in which the helix angle adopted is small. The mounting bracket of the wheel can be longitudinally advanced by hand assembly only part way onto the half shaft. The rest of the longitudinal advancement during assembly occurs by tightening the nut to completely eliminate the fit clearance between the external spline and its corresponding mating arrangement. Various road tests of vehicles verify that, when using the present invention, the nut does not loosen during use of the vehicle. The invention enables the locking force of the nut to be reduced, and assembly and maintenance are convenient.
