The one-piece coupling is obtained from a metal sheet, and it is connected on the one hand to a torque transmitting member and, on the other hand, to a receiver member. This coupling consists of three zones in the axial direction: - a zone 1 for linking with the torque-transmitting member which consists of an axially-slit hub (4) which is securely fastened to the torque-transmitting member by a fixing system, - an intermediate zone 2 slit axially so as to have two clamps 6 and 7, the longitudinal rims 10 and 11 of which have complementary profiles which interact by interlocking for the purpose of absorbing the loads which would tend to deform this coupling, the interlocking taking place by the penetration of one of the rims on the side of the other and vice versa, with an angle between the two clamps 6 and 7 which is determined so that this interlocking is correct, - a zone 3 for linking with the receiver member consisting of linking or fixing branches. Main application to motor vehicle steering. <IMAGE> |
