  • Vibration-proof power take-off device for engine including two displacement absorbing joint members connected by a resilient member
    Patent number: 5531642
    Abstract: A vibration-proof power take-off device for an engine includes a resilient support device for carrying the engine on a support, and a displacement absorbing joint for connecting an output shaft of the engine to a power take-off member. The displacement absorbing joint has a first joint member connected to the output shaft, a second joint member connected to the power take-off member, and a resilient member for resiliently interconnecting the joint members. The first joint member includes a first hub having radially projecting first transmitting fins and the second joint member includes a second hub concentrically surrounding the first hub and having radially projecting second transmitting fins. The intermediate member has intermediate fins opposed to the first and second fins in a rotational direction. Opposed surfaces of the intermediate fins and the first and second fins are interconnected through the resilient member.
