ABSTRACT:
A torque transfer device is disclosed that utilizes one or more universal joints to transfer rotary motion between first and second shafts that rotate about non-aligned axes of rotation. The torque transfer device maintains these rotational axes at a fixed angle while allowing the shafts to freely rotate. In order to maintain the rotational axes of the shafts at a fixed angle relative to one another, a stabilizer is utilized. In one embodiment, first and second sections of the stabilizer, which are disposed at a desired angle to one another, are disposed within central bores of the first and second shafts. In this embodiment, the first and second shafts are interconnected with a ring-type universal joint. The ring type universal joint allows the stabilizer to pass between the central bores of the two shafts without interfering with the operation of the joint connecting the two shafts.
