Patent

CA 2588061

The invention provides a structure that positions rotating shafts and allows continuing transmission of rotary motion between shafts or shaft segments that are not aligned with one another or that may from time to time become misaligned. The invention reduces the undesirable effect of torque or torsional transients on rotary positioning and continued transmission of rotary motion, as well as reducing vibration resulting from linear or other angular displacement on either side of the joint. The structure comprises opposing outer and inner plates, each engaging a corresponding shaft or shaft segment. The plates define a plurality of holes that support flexible members. The flexible members extend through the plates on adjacent shafts or shaft segments around the shaft ends. Torque may be transmitted from one shaft to another by the flexible members.

L'invention concerne une structure de positionnement d'arbres rotatifs permettant la transmission en continu d'un mouvement rotatif entre des arbres ou des segments d'arbres n'étant pas alignés les uns avec les autres ou pouvant être parfois mal alignés. L'invention permet de réduire les effets indésirables de phénomènes transitoires de couple ou de torsion sur le positionnement rotatif et la transmission continue d'un mouvement rotatif, ainsi que de réduire les vibrations résultant d'un déplacement linéaire ou angulaire de chaque côté de l'articulation. La structure comprend des plaques extérieures et intérieures opposées venant chacune en contact avec un arbre ou un segment d'arbre correspondant. Les plaques définissent une pluralité d'orifices sur des arbres ou des segments d'arbres adjacents autour des extrémités de l'arbre. Un couple peut être transmis d'un arbre à un autre par les éléments flexibles.
