| 20100244546 | AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY - An axle shaft is fabricated from two separate pieces. The axle shaft is comprised of an axle shaft body having a forged initial flange portion formed at one end. An axle shaft flange, fabricated by stamping or casting for example, is secured to the forged initial flange portion at a weld interface to form a finished axle shaft. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20120205966 | TORQUE TUBE, TORQUE TRANSFER APPARATUS AND METHOD - A torque tube includes a ring gear having a first axial end, a second axial end opposite the first axial end, an inner surface including a plurality of teeth, and an outer surface with a mating portion formed adjacent to the first axial end of the ring gear. The torque tube also includes a barrel portion joined to the second axial end of the ring gear at a radial location inward from a radial location of the mating portion. The barrel portion extends axially away from the ring gear. | 08-16-2012 |
| 20130181505 | AXLE HOUSING ASSEMBLY FOR WORK VEHICLE - An axle housing assembly for a work vehicle is adapted to be mounted in the work vehicle, and includes an axle housing and a disc-shaped member. The axle housing has a recessed portion for press fitting on an end thereof. The recessed portion is opened to a vehicle outer side, the recessed portion having a constant inner diameter. The disc-shaped member is press-fitted into the recessed portion, an outer peripheral surface of the disc-shaped member having a single reference dimension. A first region of the outer peripheral surface is arranged on an inner side in a press fitting direction and processed at a first tight fit tolerance range with respect to the reference dimension. A second region of the outer peripheral surface is arranged outwards of the first region and processed at a second tight fit tolerance range less than the first tight fit tolerance range. | 07-18-2013 |
| 20130200686 | WHEEL SUPPORT DEVICE - In a wheel support device, a through-hole is formed so as to pass through a hub spindle in its axial direction, an outer ring shaft portion passed through the through-hole is formed in the outer ring, a first connecting portion of which the inner diameter gradually increases toward an axial outer side is formed in the inner periphery of the hub spindle, which defines the through-hole, a second connecting portion that is arranged radially inward of the first connecting portion and of which the outer diameter gradually increases toward the axial outer side is formed in the outer ring shaft portion so as to correspond to the first connecting portion, and the first connecting portion and the second connection portion have spline teeth that mesh with each other. | 08-08-2013 |
| 20140139013 | MODULAR AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLIES FOR USE WITH RACING VEHICLES AND OTHER VEHICLES - Axle shaft assemblies for use with a vehicle include a shaft formed from a first material having a first modulus of elasticity for providing the shaft with a flexibility adapted to withstand side impacts and resist deformation. A first end member can be engaged with a first end of the shaft, and a second end member can be engaged with the second end of the shaft. The end members can be formed from a second material having a second modulus of elasticity greater than the first, such that the end members are adapted to withstand a rotational force. The end members can include splined connectors, hub flanges, and other similar components. The resulting axle shaft assembly can thereby include modular combinations of materials having low and high moduli of elasticity. | 05-22-2014 |
| 20150360513 | WATERTIGHT DEVICE FOR DRIVE SHAFT FOR VEHICLE - A watertight device for a drive shaft for a vehicle may include a middle shaft, an inner shaft which is formed integrally with an outer end portion of the middle shaft and has a first gear serration portion formed on an outer diameter portion of the inner shaft, and an outer wheel of the drive shaft which has a second gear serration portion formed on an inner diameter portion thereof, in which a sealer seating groove may be formed in a neck portion in a rear of the first gear serration portion of the inner shaft, a sealer may be press-fitted and mounted into the sealer seating groove, and thereafter, an outer diameter of the sealer may be compressed by an inner diameter portion at an inlet side of the second gear serration portion in an inner diameter section of the outer wheel of the drive shaft. | 12-17-2015 |
| 20150367680 | HOLLOW AXLE SHAFT FOR A VEHICLE AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A hollow axle shaft for transmitting rotational motion from a prime mover to a wheel of a vehicle comprises an elongated member. The elongated member extends along an axis between a first end and a second end. The hollow axle shaft further comprises a flange at the first end and extending radially away from the axis for receiving the wheel. The flange is integral with the elongated member. A method of manufacturing the hollow axle shaft comprises the step of providing the elongated member comprising a material and defining a bore extending along the axis between the first and second ends, and the step of forming the flange with the material at the first end. | 12-24-2015 |
| 20150367681 | HOLLOW AXLE SHAFT FOR A VEHICLE AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A method of manufacturing a hollow axle shaft, which transmits rotational motion from a prime mover to a wheel of a vehicle, includes an elongated member extending along an axis between a first end and a second end. The hollow axle shaft includes a flange at the first end with the flange extending radially away from the axis for receiving the wheel. The method comprises the steps of providing the elongated member comprising a material, forming a bore extending partially through the elongated member by removing a portion of the material along the axis from the second end toward the first end, and forming the flange with the material at the first end. | 12-24-2015 |
