Joint yoke and universal joint comprising the same

A joint yoke for a universal joint comprising:

• a longitudinal axis (5),
• a base portion (6) centered on the longitudinal axis, and
• two yoke arms (7, 8),
• off-set in opposite directions from the longitudinal axis (5),
• having, respectively, a support bore (9), wherein the support bores (9) have a common bore axis (10), extending at a right angle to the longitudinal axis (5),
• having, respectively, two arm portions (11, 12) integral with the base portion (6), separated by the support bore (9) and having end faces (13, 14), distanced from the base portion (6), with at least two threaded bores (19, 20, 21), which centers, respectively projected onto the bore axis (10) of the neighboring support bore (9), are arranged with different distances (D, E, F) to the longitudinal axis (5), wherein the threaded bore (21), arranged with the largest distance (F) to the longitudinal axis (5), has a larger diameter (X) than the other threaded bores (19, 20),
• having, respectively, a bridge portion (15, 18), connecting the two arm portions (11, 12) and provided with abutment faces (16, 17) formed correspondingly to the end faces (13, 14) and in which through bores (25) are arranged, which are formed and arranged in correspondence to the threaded bores (19, 20, 21), and
• screws (22, 23, 24) serving for the attachment of the bridge elements (15, 18) on the arm portions (11, 12) of the yoke arms (7, 8) and adapted to the threaded bores (19, 20, 21) and the through bores (25).
