F16D 3/26

Hooke's joints or other joints with an equivalent intermediate member to which each coupling part is pivotally or slidably connected (F16D3/18, F16D3/20 take precedence)

Introduced: September 1968

Title

Titles differ between systems:

IPC: Hooke's joints or other joints with an equivalent intermediate member to which each coupling part is pivotally or slideably connected

CPC: Hooke's joints or other joints with an equivalent intermediate member to which each coupling part is pivotally or slidably connected (F16D3/18, F16D3/20 take precedence)

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Yielding couplings, i.e. with means permitting movement between the connected parts during the drive > Universal joints in which flexibility is produced by means of pivots or sliding or rolling connecting parts > Hooke's joints or other joints with an equivalent intermediate member to which each coupling part is pivotally or slideably connected

CPC:

Yielding couplings, i.e. with means permitting movement between the connected parts during the drive (couplings disconnectable simply by axial movement F16D1/10; slip couplings F16D7/00) > Universal joints in which flexibility is produced by means of pivots or sliding or rolling connecting parts > Hooke's joints or other joints with an equivalent intermediate member to which each coupling part is pivotally or slidably connected (F16D3/18, F16D3/20 take precedence)

Of 7 combined children, 5 exist in both systems.

1 codes are CPC-only extensions, 1 exist only in IPC.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
