Abstract: Torque transmitting, molded flexible shaft assemblies having two rigid, tubular, shell-like sections that are filled and linked together by a flexible material. The two sections are placed in a mold such that they are separated by an elongated cavity. A flexible-when-hardened moldable material such as polyurethane then fills the mold such that the two sections and the elongated cavity are filled by the moldable material.

Abstract: A shaft assembly including an elongated member having at least a portion which is hollow having an inside surface defining a shaft core is provided. The shaft assembly includes a rotatable, torque transmitting elongated member defining a portion thereof which is hollow having an inside surface and defining a shaft core. The shaft has an outside surface including a torque transmitting portion and a functional feature portion. The elongated member defines an aperture gate extending from the inside surface to the outside surface. The elongated member also defines a hardened, moldable material. The material extends from the inside surface through the aperture gate. The material is secured to at least a portion of the outside surface.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for mounting a rotating element to a housing is disclosed. The housing defines an opening through a wall of the housing. The mounting apparatus includes a tube including an aperture therethrough. The tube includes a first tube portion thereof including a cylindrical outer periphery and a second tube portion thereof connected to the first tube portion and securable to the opening through the wall of the housing. The mounting apparatus further includes a cap including a body portion thereof having a body outer periphery thereof matingly fitted to the aperture of the tube. The cap further includes a flange extending outwardly from a first end of the body portion in a direction perpendicular to the body outer periphery of the body portion of the cap. The cap further including a connector extending from a second end of the body portion opposed to the first end. The connector is utilized for connecting the cap to the tube.

Abstract: A method for movably connecting two members. The method includes the steps of molding a first member in a first mold portion and placing the first member within a second mold portion. The method also includes inserting molten material into the second mold portion to form a second member. The method further includes limiting contact between the first member and the material to prevent bonding between the first member and to permit relative motion between the members. The method also includes cooling the molten material into a solid form, whereby an assembly is formed from the first and the second member. The method further includes removing the members from the second mold assembly.
