ABSTRACT:
A half round end yoke and a pair of retainer straps retain an opposed pair of bearing cups to the half round end yoke in such a universal joint. The half round end yoke includes a body defining an axis of rotation having first and second arms extending therefrom. Each of the first and second arms has a semi-cylindrical recess formed therein that is adapted to receive a bearing cup. A pair of threaded bores is formed in each of the first and second arms. Retainer straps are disposed about the bearing cups to retain them within the semi-cylindrical recesses. Each of the retainer straps includes a curved central portion having a pair of straight end portions extending outwardly therefrom. The end portions have respective apertures formed therethrough that can be aligned with the threaded bores formed in the arms of the half round end yoke. Threaded fasteners extend through the apertures formed through the end portions of the retainer strap into cooperation with the threaded bores formed in the arms of the half round end yoke so as to secure the retainer strap thereto. The threaded bores are formed within the arms at an angle relative to the axis of rotation of the half round end yoke when viewed in a first direction and at an angle relative to the axis of rotation of the half round end yoke when viewed in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The apertures formed through the retainer straps may extend at the same angles as the bores.
