| 464102000 | SEPARATE COUPLING DEVICE MOVABLE RADIALLY OF AXES OF TORQUE TRANSMITTING MEMBERS TO ACCOMMODATE PARALLEL, MISALIGNED AXES (E.G., OLDHAM COUPLING) | 9 |
| 20090042656 | Image Forming apparatus - A disclosed image forming apparatus comprises a unit, which includes a rotating body and is detachable from an apparatus body, and a connection unit configured to connect a driven shaft provided in the unit to a drive shaft provided in the apparatus body. The driven shaft is configured to transmit a drive force to the rotating body. The drive shaft is configured to be rotated by a drive force of a drive source. The unit is positioned relative to the apparatus body by connecting the drive shaft and the driven shaft with the connection unit. The rotating body includes at least one of a developing roller, a drive roller of an intermediate transfer belt, a drive roller of a sheet transport belt, a roller configured to transport a sheet, and a secondary transfer roller. The connection unit is a constant velocity joint. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20120264525 | COUPLING - To provide a coupling that requires misalignment measures. The coupling comprises a first hub | 10-18-2012 |
| 464103000 | Coupling device includes rolling body for transmitting torque | 2 |
| 20090069099 | Shaft coupling - An object is to provide a shaft coupling of the type in which power is transmitted between two parallel shafts through rolling elements each disposed at the intersecting portion of two guide grooves that intersect each other at a right angle which always operates stably. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090156318 | Shaft Coupling and In-Wheel Motor System Using the Same - There is provide a shaft coupling of the type which can transmit power between two parallel shafts through rolling elements disposed at intersecting portions of guide grooves that intersect each other at a right angle which can always stably transmit power. | 06-18-2009 |
| 464104000 | Coupling device has aperture or groove for receiving complemenatry driving projection on torque transmitting members | 4 |
| 20100285889 | STEERING APPARATUS - A steering apparatus includes an input shaft that transmits a steering force input from a steering wheel and an output shaft that transmits a steered force by which wheels are steered. The output shaft is arranged at a position that is radially offset from the input shaft. One of an eccentric cam and an adapting plate that form an eccentric pin mechanism is connected to the input shaft. The output shaft is connected to the other one of the eccentric cam and the adapting plate. A first connecting portion of the input shaft, which is connected to the eccentric pin mechanism, is connectable to a second connecting portion of the output shaft, which is connected to the eccentric pin mechanism. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100292014 | Metal and Plastic Oldham Coupler with Added Retraction Spline and Plastic Over Molded Features - An Oldham coupler assembly capable of transferring rotary power between two shafts in a developer unit of an image forming apparatus that includes an input plate and an output plate made of metal and a star plate made in plastic mechanically coupled and positioned in between the input plate and the output plate. A spline component made of metal is rigidly and integrally attached to the input plate, the spline component including a tubular spline portion that includes a plurality of wear strips made of plastic, the output plate having a plastic material coated along a portion of an outside diameter of the output plate. The input and output plates further includes a plurality of openings to receive a plurality of wheels and pins. This structure allows a sufficiently stiff drive system to substantially eliminate fine line jitter by raising the natural frequency of the drive system. | 11-18-2010 |

| 464105000 | Projection-receiving slot extends completely through thickness dimension of coupler | 1 |
| 20100144452 | COUPLING DEVICE - A coupling device for transmitting a torque from a first shaft to a second shaft. The coupling device includes the first shaft with a first end section having radially opposite, radially extending projections and/or recesses. The second shaft has a second end section with radially opposite, radially extending projections and/or recesses. The first shaft is axially opposite the second shaft. The coupling device includes a coupling member having coupling projections and/or recesses, wherein the projections and/or recesses of the first and second end sections are respectively configured to engage with at least one of the coupling projections and/or recesses. The coupling projections and/or recesses corresponding to the first end section are arranged at a displacement of about 90° relative to the coupling projections and/or recesses corresponding to the second end section and the coupling member at least partially surrounds the first and second end sections. The first and second sections are disposed axially directly opposite to each other, and the coupling member is positionally fixed by the first and second end sections. | 06-10-2010 |
