20090258716 - Fixed constant velocity universal joint: Provided is a fixed constant velocity universal joint of a structure, which easily allows incorporation of an inner ring into a cage without impairing a function of the joint. The fixed constant velocity universal joint has an outer ring having in an inner spherical surface thereof a plurality of track... Agent: Wenderoth, Lind & Ponack, L.L.P.

20090258717 - Power take-off shaft with 80 degree angular displacement: A power take-off shaft having constant velocity joints that provide consistent drive shaft speeds regardless of the operating angle of a respective joint and, hence, provide a user with an improved apparatus for transferring mechanical power from a tractor or like machinery to a trailing implement. The constant velocity joints... Agent: Francis Law Group

20090253521 - Sideshaft with interconnecting fuse: An automotive shaft assembly is provided including a first barshaft having a first connection end and a second barshaft having a second connection end. A connection tube rotationally engages the first connection to the second connection end and includes a shear diameter configured to experience shear failure in the presence... Agent: Gkn Driveline/ttg

20090253522 - Boot for universal joint: To prevent inverting of a mountain portion (111) of a bellows member (11) when a rotating shaft (23) is angularly displaced, the boot comprising the bellows member (11) with large and small diameter mounting members (12, 13) is structured such that a first mountain portion (111) nearest the large diameter... Agent: Jacobson Holman PLLC

20090253523 - Input shaft with internal dry splines and sealed plug and method of manufacturing a hybrid powertrain utilizing the same: An input shaft for a hybrid transmission includes a cylindrical hollow shaft portion having internal and external surfaces. The internal surface defines an internal cavity coaxial with the hollow shaft portion and has a splined portion configured to allow power to be transferred to the hollow shaft portion. The input... Agent: Quinn Law Group, PLLC

20090247307 - Damper device: A damper device includes a drive plate; a driven plate; and a torque transmission mechanism having different types of damper springs.
