The present invention relates to a joint assembly for a driveshaft comprising, a yoke stub (1) with multiple channels (3) in the direction of extension; a tube sleeve (2) is having a recess (4) aligned corresponding channel (3) and telescopically engaged with a yoke stub (1). The driveshaft further comprises multiple rollers (14) spaced apart from each other in such a way that providing axial movement between the channel (3) and the corresponding recess (4) to transmit torque and a cage (12) extending between the rollers (14) to secure them together.

The present disclosure provides a stabilizing unit for a medical device. The stabilizing unit includes a retaining arm having a surface configured to abut a surface of the medical device. The stabilizing unit also includes a stabilizing fork having a slot configured to receive the medical device. A biasing member is in contact with the stabilizing fork and is configured to urge the slot of the stabilizing fork towards the retaining arm. When the medical device is placed in the slot of the stabilizing fork, the basing member urges the stabilizing fork against an adjacent surface of the medical device, and an opposing surface of the medical device against the retaining arm.

A drive train connector assembly includes a first connecting structure and a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure has an attachment protrusion with first and second edges. The first edge extends in a first direction. The second edge extends in a second direction. Both directions are perpendicular to the rotational axis. The first and second directions define a first acute angle therebetween. The second connecting structure defines recessed area. The attachment protrusion fits into the recessed area. The recessed area defines third and fourth edges. The third edge extends in a third direction and the fourth edge extends in a fourth direction. The third direction and the fourth direction define a second acute angle. With the attachment protrusion installed within the recessed area the first and third edges are parallel to one another and the second and fourth edges are parallel to one another.

A steering shaft according to an aspect of the present invention includes an upper shaft, a lower shaft, and a seal cap. The seal cap includes a seal which comes into close contact with an inner peripheral surface of the upper shaft and a closure which bulges upward with respect to the seal. The closure is plastically deformed downward, and thus, the seal cap is held in an upper end opening portion in a state where the seal is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the upper shaft.

A device for connecting a steering column to a steering gear housing comprising a shaft (2) having an end portion (20), a clamping collar (1) comprising two arms (10, 11) arranged relative to one another in such a way as to delimit a cavity (3) able to guide the shaft (2) into a position of engagement and keep the shaft (2) in the engaged position, and means (16) for clamping the arms (10, 11) onto the shaft in the engaged position with a set torque, the cavity (3) comprising a coupling zone (4) and an entry zone (5) situated to the rear of the coupling zone in the direction of insertion and dimensioned in relation to the coupling zone (4) in such a way as to prevent the clamping means from being clamped to the set torque when the end portion is situated in the entry zone (5).

A connection device for an agricultural machine includes a front having an input shaft coupled with an input yoke and installed passing therethrough, a rear body having an output shaft coupled with an output yoke and installed passing therethrough, a joint part provided to allow each of the bodies to be coupled with each other and to be rotatable via center pins installed on central parts of upper and lower tip ends of each of the bodies, and a connection yoke fastening each of the input and output yokes thereto via cross-shaped bearings. In the cross-shaped bearings, a length (L) of the connection yoke fastening shafts fastened to the connection yoke is formed to be longer than the length (l) of the input and output connection yoke fastening shafts fastened to the input and output yokes.

The universal joint (5, 7) includes first and second forks (23, 25) each having a pair of arms (61) with seats (61.1) for respective trunnions (27.1) of a spider (27). The arms (61) extend from an outer edge (91.1) of a collar (91) provided to increase the stiffness of the arms and reduce bending deformations thereof under heavy load operating conditions.

A locking mechanism for securing a coupling sleeve on a shaft, comprises a coupling sleeve with a receptacle extending along a longitudinal axis for receiving a shaft, a plurality of locking elements, each of which is received in a radial aperture of the coupling sleeve so as to be radially movable between a locking position, in which the locking elements project radially inwardly from the apertures into the receptacle for engagement in a circumferential groove of the shaft, and a releasing position, and a locking ring, which is axially adjustable between a closed position and an open position relative to the coupling sleeve, wherein in the closed position a locking section of the locking ring engages around the locking elements radially on the outside and holds them in the locking position. The locking ring is adjustable in the open position between a centered position on the longitudinal axis and an eccentric position parallel to the longitudinal axis, and, in the eccentric position of the locking ring, at least one switching locking element of the plurality of locking elements is located in the locking position and is supported radially outwards against an actuating section of the locking ring, wherein by displacing the at least one switching locking element into the releasing position, the locking ring can be transferred into the centered position via the actuating section.

According to the present invention, a low surface-roughness part (114a) is formed at a first tapered part (114), and, as a result, the roughness of an opening-edge of a groove part (113a) of an internal spline part (113) that opens at the first tapered part (114) is reduced, and surface pressure applied by the opening edge to a tooth (123b) of an external spline part (123) can be reduced. As a result, the opening edge of the groove part (113a) of the internal spline part (113) can be kept from digging into the tooth (123b), and variation, between products, in the insertion load of a second shaft part (12) can be suppressed.

A stabilizing apparatus for a transcatheter delivery system includes a housing having an aperture to receive the transcatheter delivery system. An engagement member is disposed in the housing. A biasing element urges the engagement member against a surface of the transcatheter delivery system when the transcatheter delivery system is placed in the housing.
