Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
Means for mounting an integral disc and hub-flange combination on a shaft, comprising a sleeve, and means for fixing said sleeve on a shaft, said sleeve having an axially tapered outer surface, an annular disc having an integral hub-flange disposed centrally of the inner periphery thereof, said hub-flange having an axially tapered outer surface, and having an axially tapered bore which is received over said tapered outer surface of said sleeve, an annular element having a bore which is axially tapered in the same direction as the bore of said hub-flange and which is received over said axially tapered outer surface of said hubflange and spaced axially from said integral disc in assembled position, said integral disc extending radially outward beyond the outer peripheries of said sleeve and annular element, and fastening means engaging only said sleeve and annular element for concurrently holding said tapered bore of said annular element in engagement with said outer surface of said hubflange, and for holding said tapered bore of said hub-flange in engagement with said outer surface of said sleeve, whereby said hub-flange is axially aligned with respect to said shaft and held for rotation therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
193 words
Means for mounting an integral disc and hub-flange combination on a shaft, comprising a sleeve, and means for fixing said sleeve on a shaft, said sleeve having an axially tapered outer surface, an annular disc having an integral hub-flange disposed centrally of the inner periphery thereof, said hub-flange having an axially tapered outer surface, and having an axially tapered bore which is received over said tapered outer surface of said sleeve, an annular element having a bore which is axially tapered in the same direction as the bore of said hub-flange and which is received over said axially tapered outer surface of said hubflange and spaced axially from said integral disc in assembled position, said integral disc extending radially outward beyond the outer peripheries of said sleeve and annular element, and fastening means engaging only said sleeve and annular element for concurrently holding said tapered bore of said annular element in engagement with said outer surface of said hubflange, and for holding said tapered bore of said hub-flange in engagement with said outer surface of said sleeve, whereby said hub-flange is axially aligned with respect to said shaft and held for rotation therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
Means for mounting an integral disc and hub-flange combination on a shaft as set forth in claim 1, in which said means for fixing said sleeve on a shaft comprises a split in said sleeve, whereby said fastening means causes compression of said split sleeve against said shaft due to said engagement between said hub-flange and sleeve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
81 words
Means for mounting an integral disc and hub-flange combination on a shaft as set forth in claim 1, in which said fastening means comprises a plurality of screws, said annular element has a flange extending radially inward and having a plurality of axially disposed openings therein, and said sleeve has a plurality of openings aligned with the openings in said annular element flange, wherein said screws are received respectively in said aligned openings for drawing together said sleeve and annular element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
Means for mounting an integral disc and hub-flange combination on a shaft as set forth in claim 1, in which said fastening means comprises a plurality of screws, said sleeve has a flange extending radially outward and having a plurality of axially disposed openings therein, and said annular element has a plurality of openings aligned with the openings in said sleeve flange, wherein said screws are received respectively in said aligned openings for drawing together said sleeve and annular element.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
Means for mounting an integral disc and hub-flange combination on a shaft as sEt forth in claim 1, in which the tapers of said bores and said respective outer surfaces of said sleeve and hub-flange are substantially the same.
