Hub assembly

A splined joint between a shaft and a muff, for the purpose of preventing dog-legging has a chamber provided at the end of the muff from which the shaft projects and a guide ring received in such chamber, the guide ring being introduced axially into the chamber past an edge afforded by the muff which removes material from the guide ring to give the required clearance between the shaft and guide ring to constrain relative radial movement between the shaft and muff.

Splined joint

A universal joint with outer and inner joint members connected for torque transmission, the inner joint member being received in a cavity in the outer joint member and having a bore in which a shaft is detachably received, has a flexible sealing member which is connected between the outer and inner joint members and has a sealing formation which engages the shaft when present to exclude dirt from the bore in the inner joint member.
