Universal joint

摘要

The cardan joint has a first and a second fork with sides(3,11) extending from a base section(2,9). The two sides of the second fork are separated in the region of their respective bearing hole so that side sections(15) are connected to the base section and separate bridging sections(16) are formed. The bridging sections and fork side sections in the region of the parting lines are connected by screws(21) which pass through the bridge faces lying one upon the other. A cross joint has four pins with two fitting in the bearing holes of the first fork and two pins fitting in the bearing holes of the second fork.
