ECCENTRIC CONNECTION Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: eccentric connection includes male component with centering and eccentric steps and female component having similar profile of contact surface. Placed in clearance between these components is resilient insert. Length of insert may be equal to length of interacting surfaces of components or only to length of eccentric step. Thickness of insert wall is more than maximum clearance between them and less than value of eccentricity. Presence of insert increases contact surface of parts to be connected and decreases specific pressure acting upon these parts. EFFECT: increased carrying capacity and improved reliability of connection. 3 cl, 3 dwg
