Abstract: In order to provide a universal joint suitable as a small diameter joint capable of transmitting a large torque and having a high rotational precision and a high durability at a low cost, the universal joint is a kind of spring ring joints coupling a driven shaft with a driving shaft, for which an angle formed by their axis lines is not great, constructed so as to deal with deviations of the axis lines with respect to each other, owing to the fact that thin bending plates made of glass fiber reinforced polyimide bend. Linking boss portions supporting the bending plates and an intermediate disk are made of a high duty aluminium alloy for elongation having a high tenacity by die cast. A part of the linking boss portions and the intermediate disk is formed as protruding arbors for caulking and the bending plates are jointed directly therewith by caulking.

Abstract: The present invention provides an eccentric shaft coupling having a high durability, capable of dealing with a great torque load and transmitting correctly rotational movement. Two pairs of protrusions of cylindrical boss flanges secured to extremities of two rotating shafts are linked through an intermediate disk with phases shifted by 90° from each other. The intermediate disk is made of a material having a satisfactory strength and rigidity. Each of the two pairs of protrusions is put slidably between plane portions of two liners, each having a partial cylindrical shape, whose cross section is enclosed by an arc and a secant, inserted dismountably into a cylindrical cavity along inner walls to be guided. Only the liners, each having a partial cylindrical shape, whose cross section is enclosed by an arc and a secant, are subjected to strong wear and therefore, when they are worn, they can be easily exchanged.

Abstract: An inexpensive machine of small size is exclusively used for processing a key groove, requiring no skill. It is so constructed that a voltage is applied to an insulated work table through lead wires. A piece to be processed is reciprocated in left- and rightward directions. A center position of processing is calculated, based on digital displays of conduction signal positions, which left and right contact positions of a cutting tool inserted into a throughhole, in an inner wall of which the key groove should be formed, with the inner wall and a position of processing is set for the cutting tool by means of a scale, which position is fixed by using an eccentric lever. The work table is moved automatically intermittently with a cutting pitch set, linked with an air cylinder.
