Patent ID: 8608579

Claim:
An assembly for transferring torque comprising: a first component having an inner diameter including a plurality of first wall portions forming respective sides for a plurality of first notches; a second component having an outer diameter including a plurality of second wall portions forming respective sides for a plurality of second notches, wherein said plurality of first wall portions extends radially from said first component toward said second component, said plurality of second wall portions extends radially from said second component toward said first component, and the plurality of first wall portions is further, in a radial direction orthogonal to an axis of rotation for the assembly, from the axis of rotation for the assembly than the plurality of second wall portions; and, a ring rivet having a connecting portion inserted into the pluralities of first and second notches and deformed for creating at least one head on at least one axial side of said assembly for axially locking said first component and said second component together for creating a positive fit between said connecting portion and each of said first and second components for rotationally locking said first component and second component together for enabling a transfer of torque between said first component and said second component.
