20070021221 - Frictional resistance generation mechanism: A friction resistance generation mechanism is disposed between two relatively rotatable members of a rotating mechanism. The mechanism includes an input side disk-like plate 32, output side disk-like plates 30 and 31, friction shims 361A, 361B, and 361C aligned and disposed in a direction of rotation. A plurality of elastic... Agent: GlobalIPCounselors, LLP

20070021222 - Cardan shaft: A cardan shaft (1) having a first shaft (2) and a second shaft (3) is connected in a torque-proof manner via a constant velocity joint (9). The second shaft (3) having two separate shaft sections (4, 5) connected to one another by a connector, which mechanically fails at the impact... Agent: Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt, P.C. Pacwest Center, Suite 1900

20070021223 - Longitudinal plunging unit permitting axial positioning of the cage: A longitudinal plunging unit for the transmission of torque in a drive assembly. It comprises a profiled sleeve (21) with circumferentially distributed, longitudinally extending first ball grooves (22); a profiled journal (11) with circumferentially distributed, longitudinally extending second ball grooves (12); balls (31) which are arranged in groups of pairs... Agent: Artz & Artz, P.C.

20070021224 - Propshafts with honeycomb core dampers: A propshaft assembly includes a shaft structure having a hollow cavity and an insert member being positioned within the hollow cavity and engaging the shaft structure. The shaft structure vibrates in response to receipt of an input of a predetermined frequency such that a shell mode anti-node is generated. The... Agent: Harness, Dickey & Pierce, P.L.C

20070015592 - Tubular telescoping drive shaft: A tubular telescoping drive shaft for transmitting rotation from a rotating power source to an element to be rotated thereby, including at least one inner member or shaft telescopically receivable in an outer tubular shaft and including a universal joint such as a Hooke's joint having pivotal yokes connected with... Agent: Cnh America LLC

20070015593 - Tubular telescoping drive shaft: A tubular telescoping drive shaft for transmitting rotation from a rotating power source to an element to be rotated thereby, including at least one inner member or shaft telescopically receivable in an outer tubular shaft and including a universal joint such as a Hooke's joint having pivotal yokes connected with... Agent: Cnh America LLC

20070004521 - High speed coupling shear spacer: An inner tubular wall is concentrically located inside an outer tubular wall to form an annular space therebetween. A bearing is retained within the annular space. The bearing can include a pair of precision angular contact bearings. the bearing may also include an axial sleeve bearing. A frangible element such... Agent: Harness, Dickey & Pierce, P.L.C

20070004523 - Constant velocity universal joint: The tripod member has three trunnions which are projected radially. Each of the trunnions carries a roller, and this roller is accommodated in one of the track grooves in the outer joint member. The outer peripheries of the rollers and the roller guideways make angular contact with each other. Support... Agent: Arent Fox PLLC

20070004522 - Tripod type constant velocity joint: A tripod type constant velocity joint comprising a hollow cylindrical housing fixed to the end of a first rotary shaft and formed at the inner peripheral surface thereof with axially extending recessed grooves opened at one axial end and located at circumferentially trisectional positions on the inner peripheral surface, a...
