Shaft and universal joint member assembly

摘要

An assembly of a universal joint member and a shaft having a plurality of superimposed layers of material and an adhesive bond between axially inter-fitting parts of the shaft and universal joint member, the adhesive bond being established with more than one of the layers of material of the shaft to overcome a tendency to disruption of the layers of the shaft on torque transmission. The axially inter-fitting parts may be of stopped or frusto-conical form to provide a joint surface which intersects several of the layers of the shaft.
