Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rubber bushing intended to simplify fitting and reduce fitting time in the manufacture and assembly of engineering parts.
- the invention is
- the invention relates also to a vehicle equipped with one or more rubber bushings according to the invention.
- sheetmetal bodywork This usually entails using some form of conventional rubber bushing, e.g. a type of studbolt damper which is provided with two metal studscrews or studbolts situated on their respective sides of a rubber damping unit.
- a type of studbolt damper which is provided with two metal studscrews or studbolts situated on their respective sides of a rubber damping unit.
- One of the damper's studbolts is screwed firmly into the cab rear wall in a purpose-made fitting hole, and the opposite other studbolt is screwed firmly into some part of the air duct, in a purpose-made fitting hole.
- One object of the invention is to solve the above problems and propose a rubber bushing which makes fitting easy and quick, reduces the risk of paint damage and at the same time reduces the ergonomic problems involved in fitting and removal .
- a further object of the invention is that it be possible for the rubber bushing to be integrated in one of the parts which are to be fitted to one another, so that the bushing is kept in the right position without special fitting measures .
- Another object of the invention is to reduce the number of parts which need be kept in stock and handled on the
- a further object of the invention is that it be functional and durable and that the parts be easy and cost-effective to make.
- the invention is therefore particularly intended for
- the invention is achieved by configuring a bushing so that it is easy to mould integrally with a constructional element which is to be fitted, e.g. a plastic air duct for fitting to a vehicle cab. This obviates the need for any separate and often complicated fitting of individual rubber bushings, thus eliminating such operations .
- the configuration according to the invention comprise the rubber bushing being easy to make and easy to integrate with other constructional elements, resulting in quicker and less expensive final fitting.
- the design of the bushing can also be easily adapted as desired to suit the fitting or moulding requirements which apply in the particular case.
- the bushing according to the invention will also be of relatively low weight.
- a further advantage of the solution according to the invention is that it will be easy and inexpensive to implement at production stage in that the bushing is already integrated in the making of the constructional elements, reducing the number of parts which have to be handled during for example the manufacture of a vehicle .
- Figure 1 is a view obliquely from behind of part of a vehicle cab with an air duct, for high-level air intake, fitted on the right side of the car rear wall.
- Figure 2 depicts part of the vehicle cab directly from behind, with the air duct fitted with rubber bushings according to the invention which are integrated with the duct and its fastening points .
- Figure 3 depicts a rubber bushing according to the invention provided with a cylindrical centrehole and, moulded about it, a rubber unit with an outer annular integrally moulded element which has a discontinuous/open outer edge.
- Figure 4 is a view of a rubber bushing according to Figure 3.
- Figure 5 depicts an alternative embodiment of a rubber bushing according to the invention provided with an annular integrally moulded element which has a continuous /closed outermost edge.
- Figure 6 is a view of a rubber bushing according to Figure 6.
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of a rubber bushing with incorporated recesses running through the outer edge of the integrally moulded element .
- Figure 1 is thus a perspective view of part of a vehicle cab 1 where an air duct 2, made of plastic material, for supply of air to the vehicle's combustion engine is fitted on the right side of the cab rear wall 3.
- the duct's air intake 4 is situated high up near the cab roof and faces outwards from the cab transversely to the vehicle's direction of movement.
- the duct is fitted to the cab wall 3 by means of its fastening points 5.
- Prior art involved using studbolt dampers fitted at these fastening points .
- Figure 2 depicts the vehicle cab as seen directly from the rear, showing the air duct 2 and its fastening points 5 more clearly.
- four rubber bushings 6 are integrated in the duct's plastic material, more specifically in the protruding fastening points 5 at the duct's side edges.
- Figure 3 is a plan view of a rubber bushing 6 according to the invention.
- the circular central portion of the rubber unit 7 has running through it a preferably integrally moulded hollow cylinder 8 with a centrehole 9 intended for a bolt (not depicted) to run through.
- the periphery of the rubber unit has firmly moulded to it an outer annular element 10 which is integrally moulded with and joined to the material of the constructional element for which bushing is to be used, here for example an air duct.
- the moulded element or ring 10 may be configured in different ways and the object is that its shape should facilitate effective and strong connection to surrounding material which is preferably plastic material.
- the integrally moulded element 10 depicted comprises two annular and concentric elements 10a, b of different diameters, one situated outside the other. These annular elements are joined together by connecting elements 11.
- the outer annular element 10b is provided with recesses 12 to make it easier to fasten/mould to the constructional element in which it is desired to integrate the bushing.
- the rubber bushing 6 When in use, the rubber bushing 6 is thus firmly integrally moulded with the constructional element which is to be fitted, e.g. a plastic air duct 2, while the cylinder 8 in bushing's central portion is for example fastened to a vehicle cab rear wall 3 by means of a bolt which runs through it (not depicted) .
- the material of the cylinder 8 and the integrally moulded element 10 needs to be wear-resistant and durable.
- a plastic is preferable, but other materials such as a metal, e.g.
- the shape of the integrally moulded element 10 may also be adapted to suit different ways of moulding the bushing. A certain configuration may be preferable for injection
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a rubber bushing 6 according to Figure 3.
- the bushing and the thickness of the integrally moulded element 10 in the axial direction may be adapted to the characteristics desired and needed in the particular case.
- Figure 5 depicts an alternative embodiment variant of a rubber bushing according to the invention.
- the configuration of the outer circular element 10c is continuous and unbroken .
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of the rubber bushing 6 according to the invention depicted in Figure 5. It shows the outer annular element 10c somewhat less wide in the axial direction, making it easier to mould integrally with
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of a rubber bushing 6 with recesses 13 incorporated in the outer integrally moulded element lOd. These recesses contribute to effective
- the rubber bushing 6 may be provided with a central studbolt moulded firmly to the rubber unit 7 and pointing outwards from the bushing in one direction. This may be advantageous in certain applications .
