ABSTRACT:
A braked universal joint assembly for rotatably joining two members is described wherein both load bearing and braking are performed by conical surfaces. The joint body comprises bores defining rotation axes, each bore comprising two frusto-conical sections. Rotation assemblies for nonrotatably engaging the joined members comprise a pair of brake cones, each having a frusto-conical section, and friction cones compressed between the frusto-conical sections of the bores and the frusto-conical sections of the brake cones. Rotation occurs by motion of the joined members and the engaged brake cones relative to the joint body. Load forces and braking torques are borne by the frusto-conical sections of the bores and brake cones and by the friction cones.
