  • Patent number: 6260433
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lubricating device for telescopic shaft with axial conduits formed in the relatively sliding tubular parts, with conformal profile. It comprises a lubricating sleeve in the inner tubular part connected, internally thereto, to a grease distributor element integrally movable with the same inner tubular part, inside the outer tubular part. The inner and outer tubular parts comprise axial conduits between their opposite surfaces. The distributor element presents two segments, one stably inserted in the inner tubular part, the other one able to slide with reduced play in the inner profile of the outer tubular part. Inside the distributor element a passage of the grease to the axial conduits is obtained.

  • Patent number: 5971858
    Abstract: A protective casing with ring for shafts, in particular cardanic shafts. It comprises, coaxially, a casing, a sleeve ring, and a tubular element. A first end of the sleeve of the ring is destined to engage with a circumferentially groove of the joint, and a second end of the sleeve is adjacent to a constraining end of the casing encompassing the ring. The ring and the casing present, in their respective constraining ends, a multiplicity of hook shaped circumferentially equidistant protrusions, destined to be juxtaposed alternatively forming a circumferential throat for a split elastic locking ring. A rigid annular safety element may cover said constraining ends of the casing and of the ring.
