  • Patent number: 4796743
    Abstract: A first member, such as a clutch release bearing can be releasably connected to a second member, such as a cup spring in a coupling device, in that the member has a cyclindrical portion, which is insertable in a hole in the second member, the hole being surrounded by radially inwardly directed tongues. The portion is provided with radially outwardly directed projections forming a rim and being of a number and a circumferential extension corresponding to the interspaces between the tongues and which can be displayed through these interspaces. Catch fingers are arranged to be inserted between the tongues and the projections respectively after assembly for preventing unintentional disconnection of the connection. The fingers may be removed from the lock position at dismounting.

  • Patent number: 4775356
    Abstract: A drive belt for use in e.g. continuously variable transmissions consists of a number of U-shaped segments of e.g. steel having diverging shanks, the outer portions of which being folded around a wire or a band which keeps the segments together. The segments are made of wire and are manufactured by winding a wire helically on a template and cutting the wound wire structure longitudinally into two elongated parts consisting of a row of wire segments which are kept together by any suitable means. The belt is completed by winding a wire or band longitudinally around each elongated part and folding the outer portions of the shanks of the segments around the wire or band.

  • Patent number: 4768993
    Abstract: A device for elastic interconnection of two rotatable shafts consisting of a first sleeve intended to be connected to a first shaft end. The sleeve has a radial flange and a cylindrical, annular portion connected to the periphery of the flange. A second sleeve is intended to be connected to a second shaft end and to be surrounded by said cylindrical portion. A number of elastically deformable spherical elements are arranged in opposing recesses in said second sleeve and cylindrical portion and distributed around a shaft end. The recesses in the cylindrical portion are arranged in the end surfaces of plugs and provided with external threads. The plugs by being turned are displaceable in threaded bores provided radially in the wall of the cylindrical part. The outer end surfaces of the plugs are provided with diametrical grooves and the cylindrical portion is provided with a diametrical groove. The diametrical grooves and the peripheral grooves define an annular groove.
