Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A shaft coupling mechanism for an electric power steering apparatus includes a coupling base body coupled to a rotating shaft on a side of an electric motor; a coupling base body coupled to a steering shaft; rotation transmitting members interposed between both coupling base bodies and adapted to transmit the rotation of the rotating shaft in an R direction to the steering shaft through both coupling base bodies; an intermediate interposed member interposed between the coupling base bodies; and a coupling means for coupling the rotation transmitting members to each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A shaft coupling mechanism comprising: a first coupling base body for coupling with a first rotating shaft, a second coupling base body for coupling with a second rotating shaft, a pair of rotation transmitting members disposed between said first and second coupling base bodies, and an intermediate interposed member interposed between said pair of rotation transmitting members, for transmitting the rotation of the first coupling base body based on the r…
