ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an adapter for converting a yoke, which was originally designed to receive a torque transfer element between opposing surfaces, into a yoke designed to be received with an annular member of a ring-type universal joint. In this regard, cruciform-type universal joints may be readily replaced with ring-type universal joints. In a first embodiment, the adapter provides a first interface surface for engaging a yoke member that at least partially defines first and second opposing radial bores and a second interface surface for pivotal interconnection within an aperture of a ring-type universal joint. The first and second interface surfaces may be formed in multiple sizes to allow variously formed yoke members to be converted for use with a ring-type universal joint.
