ABSTRACT:
In a universal joint for a drive shaft or Cardan shaft each yoke or fork has two arms or bosses which are connected to the pins of the central spider or cross. At least one or both of the yoke arms or fork arms is removable from the remainder of the yoke or fork at parting lines spaced around tie fork away from the fork arm or boss which receives the pin therein. Each yoke or fork includes a hub extending away from the spider or cross to receive the drive shaft. In some embodiments, the removable are of the fork terminates in a flange which is separably clamped to the end of the hub for torque transmission between them. In another embodiment, the hub is an integral rearward extension fromt he respective fork arm and the hub is comprised of a tube half. With two such tube halves, each half is attached to one of the two arms of the york or fork, and clamping rings hold the tube parts and thus the yoke arms together.
