Torque tube and method for mounting and maintaining power transmitting forces

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Torque Tube and Method for Mounting, and Maintaining Power Transmitting Forces Abstract of the Disclosure, This invention provides a torque tube or coupling housing which is adapted to join a power transmitting member to a power driven member. A rectangular or square metal tube provides this torque tube which has two parallel spaced-apart, outer surfaces. In these spaced-apart surfaces and preferably near their central portions are formed aligned pilot holes. Using these pilot holes as an axis appropriate mounting holes are formed in each of the planar surfaces. The torque tube is then bolted in place to provide a fixed coupling of the power members. As a method, this torque tube provides …
