ABSTRACT:
The combination of a grooveless cylindrical shaft-form member and an open-ended friction-grip ring of the external form and of the general type disclosed in Heimann U.S. Pat. No. 2,574,034, dated Nov. 16, 1951, but which rather than being designed to grip the shaft surface on which it is assembled all around its arcuate inner edge, as per said Heimann patent, is instead provided with illustratively three inner-edge planar prongs whose inner ends or tips lie on a circle which is concentric with the circle of the outer-edge circle of the ring body and which is eccentric by a predetermined amount to the inner edge of said ring body, such eccentricity being in the direction of the ring ends. One said prong extends inwardly from the middle section of the ring body having maximum section height and two of said prongs extends inwardly from end sections of the ring body having minimum section height. Further, the circle on which all the prong tips lie is slightly smaller by a predetermined amount than the circle of the shaft.
