20060068923 - Shaft coupling system and method: A coupling assembly having an integral flange hub configured to bear against a flexible coupling element, and an external flange element configured to engage the hub to exert compressive force on the flexible coupling element. The assembly further includes a nut having inner threads configured to mate with a threaded...

20060068924 - Extendable vehicle steering shaft: In a telescopic shaft for vehicle steering, assembled in a steering shaft of a vehicle and including a male shaft and a female shaft so fitted as to be mutually incapable of rotating but mutually slidable, at least one set of torque transmission members are disposed in at least one...

20060068925 - Resin boots for constant velocity universal joint: A resin boots for constant velocity universal joint, including: a resin bellows including an approximately conical bellows-shaped portion with its inner hollow part, a small diameter end portion communicated with an inner space of the bellows-shaped portion and arranged at one end, and a large diameter side end portion communicated...

20060058104 - Rotary coupling: A coupling connects a drive part with a driven part. One of the parts are formed with axially extending coupling formations. The coupling has a one-piece plastic body formed with a central hub formed with axially extending coupling formations complementary to the formations of the one part and fitted axially...

20060058105 - Method and apparatus for overmolding a gear onto a shaft: A shaft for receiving a polymer overmolding of a gear from an axial single-gate mold. The shaft is provided with a plurality of features for preventing rotation of the molded gear on the shaft, the features being in the form of axial-direction flats, the number of such flats being greater...

20060052170 - Engine balancing device: An engine balancing device is provided that is adapted to be coupled to an axial end of a crankshaft of an engine. The engine balancing device comprises a generally disk shaped main body and at least one balance tab. The generally disk shaped main body includes a hub portion with...

20060046856 - Self-lubricating surgical instrument: A surgical instrument and a method of lubricating same according to which a vane is disposed in a chamber defined between a shaft and a lubricant-impregnated housing. When air is introduced into the chamber it impinges against the vane and rotates the shaft, and the lubricant weeps onto the inner...

20060046857 - Coupling member: A coupling member (18) is of a forked leaf spring which is substantially U-shaped and has a pair of sidepiece portions (18a, 18a), a pair of bent portions (18b, 18b), a pair of joining portions (18d, 18d) and a curved portion (18e). The sidepiece portions (18a, 18a) are disposed parallel...

20060046858 - Driveshaft assembly with torque ring coupling: A driveshaft assembly having a first component defining a bore, a second component, which is received in the bore, and a torque ring. The torque ring is received in the bore and disposed between the first component to the second component. The torque ring includes a plurality of teeth that...

20060046859 - Torsional coupling: A torsional coupling includes a body having a circumference and defining a center axis. The body is rotatable about the center axis. The coupling also includes a ring including an inner diameter disposed about the circumference. The ring includes a ring contact surface having a first radius and the ring...
