|---|
| 192690400 | Wheel hub clutched to axle | 8 |
| 20120067689 | WHEEL DISCONNECT SYSTEM - An integrated wheel disconnect system is provided, including a mechanically actuated engagement interlock selector assembly. The engagement interlock selector assembly including a housing, an interlock mechanism disposed in the housing, a spring disposed in the housing, and an actuator assembly, arranged to displace the interlock mechanism towards or away from the spring. The engagement interlock selector assembly is operated by an actuator module, such as a pin, sliding along an external ramp on the interlock mechanism, the mechanism moving axially to selectively engage and disengage the wheel hub from the drive axle. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120132499 | WHEEL SPINDLE DRIVE ELEMENT - A wheel spindle drive element for a wheel disconnect system. The wheel spindle assembling onto an outer diameter of a spindle, displacing material to form a joint with high torque transmission characteristics. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20150075939 | WHEEL SPINDLE DRIVE ELEMENT - A wheel spindle drive element for a wheel disconnect system. The wheel spindle assembling onto an outer diameter of a spindle, displacing material to form a joint with high torque transmission characteristics. | 03-19-2015 |
| 192690410 | Fluid pressure | 2 |
| 20090078525 | Method and Apparatus For Limiting Wheel End Clutch Ring Travel - A travel limiter associated with a wheel end adapted to selectively engage and disengage a drive shaft via a sliding clutch ring. The travel limiter operatively disposed on a coupler of the wheel end and configured to limit axial displacement of the sliding clutch ring towards the wheel assembly when engaging the drive shaft. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20150034445 | Integrated Wheel End Shift Fork Compliant Stop - A wheel end of a vehicle includes a knuckle and a wheel and wheel hub rotatably mounted to the knuckle. A CV-joint is positioned adjacent to the wheel hub. A clutch ring is slidable between engagement with one of the wheel hub and the CV-joint or both. A pneumatic annular actuator is connected to a shift fork that is engaged with the clutch ring for movement of the clutch ring between engaged and dis-engaged. The shift fork includes a base portion and an L-shaped section. The L-shaped section includes a plurality of slots therein to allow the shift fork to deflect and pivot when a misalignment occurs between the teeth of the constant velocity joint half shaft and the clutch ring during assembly of the CV-joint to the wheel hub. The pneumatic actuator includes an elastomeric diaphragm wall that includes a compliant stop extending axially therefrom. | 02-05-2015 |
| 192690420 | Electromagnetic | 1 |
| 20130068583 | WHEEL DISCONNECT SYSTEM - An integrated wheel disconnect system is provided, including a mechanically actuated engagement interlock selector assembly. The engagement interlock selector assembly including a housing, an interlock mechanism disposed in the housing, a spring disposed in the housing, and an actuator assembly, arranged to displace the interlock mechanism towards or away from the spring. The engagement interlock selector assembly is operated by an actuator module, such as a pin, sliding along an external ramp on the interlock mechanism, the mechanism moving axially to selectively engage and disengage the wheel hub from the drive axle. | 03-21-2013 |
| 192690430 | Manual | 2 |
| 20140054124 | WHEEL DISCONNECT SYSTEM - An integrated wheel disconnect system is provided, including, a mechanically actuated engagement interlock selector assembly. The engagement interlock selector assembly including a housing, an interlock mechanism disposed in the housing, a spring disposed in the housing, and an actuator assembly, arranged to displace the interlock mechanism towards or away from the spring. The engagement interlock selector assembly is operated by an actuator module, such as a pin, sliding along an external ramp on the interlock mechanism, the mechanism moving axially to selectively engage and disengage the wheel hub from the drive axle. | 02-27-2014 |
| 20160069397 | Locking Hub System - A locking hub system in a vehicle is provided. The locking hub system includes an inner drive gear assembly including a drive gear having a drive gear interior splined surface configured to attach to a vehicle axle and a bearing housing rotationally coupled to the drive gear having a bearing housing exterior splined surface configured to mate with a wheel attachment interface and a clutch ring assembly including a pin ring having a plurality of cantilevered pins extending from a support ring, partially enclosing a clutch ring, and unsupported at one end, the clutch ring including a clutch ring splined interior surface slidably moveable to mate with an drive gear splined exterior surface of the drive gear in an engaged configuration and slidably moveable to decouple from the drive gear splined exterior surface in a disengaged configuration. | 03-10-2016 |
