Abstract
Abstract A method of producing a drive shaft with drive elements on a cylindrical basic part includes forming a desired contour for a drive element on pairs of discs, forming holes in the discs of each pair having axes being inclined relative to the surfaces of the discs and having inclinations being opposite to and mirror images of each other, pushing the discs onto a cylindrical basic part with the disc of each pair being congruent to each other, and pressing the discs of each pair together until they are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the basic part.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
Method of producing a drive shaft with drive elements on a cylindrical basic part, which comprises forming peripheral driving surfaces for a drive element on pairs of discs, forming circular holes in the discs of each pair of substantially the same diameter as the cylindrical basic part and having axes being inclined relative to the surfaces of the discs and having inclinations being opposite to and mirror images of each other, pushing the discs onto a cylindrical basic part with the discs of each pair being congruent to each other with the holes in the discs concentric with the outer surface of the cylindrical part and having the inclinations opposite to and mirror images of each other, and pressing the discs of each pair together until they are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the basic part and dig into the outer surface thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
Method of producing a drive shaft with drive elements on a cylindrical basic part, which comprises forming peripheral driving surfaces for a drive element on pairs of discs, forming circular holes in the discs of each pair of substantially the same diameter as the cylindrical basic part and having axes being inclined relative to the surfaces of the discs and having inclinations being opposite to and mirror images of each other, pushing the discs onto a cylindrical basic part with the discs of each pair being congruent to each other with the holes in the discs concentric with the outer surface of the cylindrical part and having the inclinations opposite to and mirror images of each other, and pressing the discs of each pair together until they are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the basic part and dig into the outer surface thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
Method according to claim 1, which comprises welding the discs to the basic body after pressing the discs together.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
Method according to claim 1, which comprises soldering the discs to the basic body after pressing the discs together.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
Method according to claim 1, which comprises cementing the discs to the basic body after pressing the discs together.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
Method according to claim 1, which comprises forming a knurl on a surface of each of the discs to be contacted by the basic part, prior to pushing the discs onto the basic part.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
161 words
Method of producing a drive shaft with drive elements on a cylindrical basic part, which comprises forming a pair of discs, forming circular holes in the discs of the pair of substantially the same diameter as the cylindrical basic part and having axes being inclined relative to the surfaces of the discs and having inclinations being opposite to and mirror images of each other, loosely pushing at least one other part having a peripheral driving surface over a cylindrical basic part, pushing the discs onto the cylindrical basic part enclosing the other part with the discs of the pair being congruent to each other with the holes in the discs concentric with the outer surface of the cylindrical part and having the inclinations opposite to and mirror images of each other, and pressing the discs of the pair toward each other until they are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the basic part and dig into the outer surface thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
161 words
