Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clamp coupling for a shaft which can easily quickly couple shafts. SOLUTION: A shaft-inserted part 1 of this clamp coupling in which a shaft S is inserted is divided by a plurality of slits 11 extending in the axial direction such that it can be elastically contracted. On the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the shaft-inserted part 1, a tapered part 13 gradually expanding toward the tip is formed. A fastening ring 2 which presses the tapered part 13 to elastically contract the shaft-inserted part 1 when moved toward the tip of the shaft-inserted part 1 is fitted on the outer periphery of the shaft- inserted part 1. The fastening ring 2 is always elastically biased by a spring 3 toward the tip of the shaft-inserted part 1.

According to the above-mentioned conventional clamp joint, it is necessary to screw a bolt into the tongue using a tool in order to tighten a shaft such as a steering shaft. There was a problem that many man-hours were required. In addition, when it is difficult to use a tool due to space, there is a problem that it is very difficult to connect the shafts. Further, since the shaft insertion portion is difficult to adhere to the shaft, there is a problem that rattling occurs in a radial direction or an axial direction, and, for example, a steering device has a reduced steering feeling. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a shaft clamp joint that can easily and quickly connect shafts. Another object of the present invention is to provide a clamp joint for a shaft that can securely connect the shafts without rattling.
