ABSTRACT:
A universal joint shaft assembly is balanced by weights carried in rings of C-shaped cross section surrounding the assembly adjacent the universal joints and the weights are retained in balancing positions by locally deforming the outer peripheral leg or arm of the C-shaped ring into gripping relation with the weights. Where the weights are made of soft metal, notches of the ring can be pressed into the weights. The C-shaped rings can be anchored to components adjacent the joints of the universal shaft by pressing flaps out of the webs of the rings and securing these flaps to the joint components or can be integral parts of a tube surrounding the shaft.
