20080220883 | LOW NOISE AND VIBRATION FLEXIBLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY - A rotatable torque transmitting flexible shaft assembly having a casing surrounding the shaft and a sheath of felt wrapped around and bonded to the shaft either throughout its length or at spaced intervals, to reduce transmission of noise and vibration between the shaft and the casing. Alternatively the felt sheath may be secured to the interior surface of the casing. | 09-11-2008 |
20090124398 | Handle Suitable for Transmitting a Torque Between a Rotation Knob and a Respective Out Put Shaft Connectable to Cables, Tubes, or the Like | 05-14-2009 |
20100022312 | Torsional vibration damper assembly for a hydrodynamic coupling device - A torsional vibration damper assembly for a hydrodynamic coupling device, in particular a torque converter, comprises a primary side having a plurality of cover disk elements, a secondary side which is rotatable with respect to the primary side about an axis of rotation against the action of a plurality of damper springs, a central disk element engaging between the cover disk elements, and a turbine wheel having a turbine wheel shell. The plurality of cover disk elements are fixedly connected to one another on the radial outer side of the damper springs, and a cover disk element located directly adjacent to the turbine wheel shell is fixedly connected to the turbine wheel shell on the radial inner side of the damper springs by connection elements of a first set of connection elements. The connection elements of the first set of connection elements do not produce a fixed connection between the cover disk elements on the radial inner side of the damper springs. | 01-28-2010 |
20100203975 | Flexible Rotary Tool Attachment - An apparatus for facilitating use of a rotary tool such as a grinder or the like in working on surfaces around bends or within a cavity utilizes a protective sheath of selectable length that is releasably held to the body of the rotary tool and provides a passage way for the flexible drive extender. The protective sheath can be configured by the user to meet his needs. | 08-12-2010 |
20130178296 | FLEX SHAFT - DRIVE MOTOR CONNECTION FOR POWER OPERATED ROTARY KNIFE - A flexible shaft drive transmission for transmitting rotational power between a drive motor and a gear train of a power operated tool. The flexible shaft drive transmission includes an elongated drive shaft assembly including a rotatable drive transmitting shaft assembly extending through an outer casing. The shaft drive transmission includes a motor end coupling affixed to one end the outer casing and adapted to be releasably connected to a mating coupling of the drive motor. The motor end coupling includes a coupling body having an outer surface tapered region tapering from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter at a distal end of the tapered region to facilitate insertion and proper alignment with the drive motor coupling. The drive transmitting shaft assembly includes a driven fitting having a plurality of drive faces surrounding an axially extending locating member for engagement with a mating drive fitting of the drive motor. | 07-11-2013 |
20150133224 | SHAFT, E.G., FOR AN ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SURGICAL DEVICE - A shaft being, e.g., flexible, that includes an elongated outer sheath, at least one drive shaft disposed within the outer sheath and a ring non-rotatably mounted on the at least one rotatable drive shaft and at least one light source mounted within the shaft, such that, upon rotation of the at least one rotatable drive shaft, the ring alternately blocks and allows light from the light source to be detected. The shaft may also include a moisture sensor disposed within the outer sheath of the shaft and configured to detect moisture within the outer sheath. The shaft may include couplings that connect a distal end of the outer sheath to a surgical attachment and a proximal end of the outer sheath to a remote power console. | 05-14-2015 |
