  • Laminated elastomeric end bearings for articulating links
    Patent number: 4232563
    Abstract: End bearing assemblies are provided for articulating links, especially for articulating control links associated with helicopter rotor mechanisms. The end bearing assemblies comprise at least two elastomeric bearing sections connected by a load-transmitting member and arranged to react to loadings and accommodate motions along and about at least one of three mutually orthogonal axes.

  • Constant velocity, torsionally rigid, flexible coupling
    Patent number: 4208889
    Abstract: A flexible coupling comprises first and second torque transmitting members capable of being rotated about first and second axes, respectively. The coupling also includes connecting members associated in pairs. The connecting members are connected together and to the torque transmitting members through suitable bearings, preferably of the elastomeric type, for carrying pure compressive stress loading for torque transmission and for providing shear motion and restoring forces when said axes become misaligned.
