Definitions

  • U.S. patent application 14/958,263 is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application 14/952,645 filed 11/25/2015 and entitled "VEHICLE WHEEL AXLE ASSEMBLY".
  • FIG. 2h is a partial axial cross-section view of the embodiment of FIG. 2a, taken along 124-124, corresponding to the transition between the assembly sequences of FIG. 2g and FIG. 2b, showing the control shaft next further inserted in the opening of the axle sleeve, with the o-ring radially deformed to axially overlap the hole of the axlecap;
  • FIG. 4d is an axial cross section view of the embodiment of FIG. 4a, showing the hub assembly radially as next assembled to the dropouts, with the control shaft assembly in the extended position and threadably assembled to the right dropout to secure the hub assembly to the dropouts;
  • the axial direction 92 is a direction parallel with the axial axis 28.
  • the radial direction 93 is a direction generally perpendicular to the axial direction 92 and extending generally from the axial axis 28 radially outwardly toward the rim 8.
  • the tangential direction 94 is a direction perpendicular to both the radial direction 93 and axial direction 92, defining a generally tangent vector at a given radius.
  • the circumferential direction 95 is a cylindrical vector that wraps around the axial axis 28 at a given radius.
  • a radial plane 96 is a plane perpendicular to the axial axis 28 that extends in a generally radial direction at a given axial intercept.
  • An axial plane 91 is a plane that is generally parallel to the axial axis.
  • a radially inboard (or inward) orientation is an orientation that is radially proximal to the axial axis 28 and a radially outboard (or outward) orientation is an orientation that is radially distal to the axial axis 28.
  • An axially inboard (or inward) facing surface is a surface that faces toward the axial midpoint between the two end faces 1 la and 1 lb.
  • an axially outboard (or outward) facing surface is a surface that faces away from the axial midpoint between the two end faces 1 la and 1 lb.
  • Dropout 32b also includes an axially inboard face 38b, and an axially outboard face 40b.
  • Inboard faces 38a and 38b each include a corresponding axially inwardly projecting alignment surfaces 39a and 39b to provide radial positioning location of mating alignment surfaces 43a and 43b of axlecaps 44a and 44b respectively.
  • Open keyhole slot 36b has a radially extending open entrance to receive the control shaft assembly 60.
  • Inboard faces 38a and 38b are axially opposed and face each other, while outer face 40b is axially opposed to inboard face 38b.
  • the o-ring 82 first contacts the outer face 46b and/or chamfer 51b, and then must be forcibly pressed with insertion force 69 in direction 84.
  • Chamfer 51b serves as a funneling lead-in to radially inwardly wedge, ramp, cam, guide, and yield the peripheral surface 85 as the control shaft assembly 60 is further forcibly advanced in direction 84.
  • This elastic deformation of the o-ring 82 results in a high degree of frictional engagement between the hole 54b and the peripheral surface 85 to restrain and impede advancement in direction 84.
  • FIG. 3b describes an alternative embodiment where the o-ring 82 is omitted in favor of detent balls 74 to provide a radially yieldable surface that is axially retained to the control shaft 164.

  • FIGS. 3c-d which employs a lockable or latching axial restraining means where the operator must separately press the pushbutton 268 in order to actively release the restraining means.
  • the hub assembly 185 is moved in the generally radial direction 120 relative to the dropouts 32a and 32b while the control shaft assembly 60 is still in the retracted position, in a manner similar to that described in FIG. 2h, such that alignment surface 43 a is radially abutting and nested with alignment surface 39a and alignment surface 43b is radially abutting and nested with alignment surface 39b to provide radial alignment between the hub assembly 185 and dropouts 32a and 32b.
  • the sleeve 242 is a generally cylindrical tube that includes an axial opening 278 therethrough with end faces 277a and 277b.
  • the opening 278 is radially stepped to include bores 243, 244, and 245.
  • Bores 243 and 245 are sized to have a press fit assembly with collar portions 55b and 55a respectively, while bore 244 is smaller in diameter than bore 243 and is sized to have close radial clearance with shank portion 287, including a step or transition surface 246.
  • the hub assembly 230 is assembled as shown in FIG. 5a with the collars 55a and 55b press fit with the bores 245 and 243 respectively such that the sleeve 242 and axlecaps 44a and 44b are fixedly assembled together.
  • Groove 247 is bounded by end face 48b, transition surface 246 and bore 243 and serves as an o-ring gland to receive the elastomeric o-ring 282 positioned therein.
  • Peripheral surface 285 is considered as radially inwardly extending surface of the sleeve assembly 249 that are also radially displaceable.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble essieu qui comprend : un manchon d'essieu ayant des première et seconde faces d'extrémité, un orifice traversant s'étendant axialement, et une première surface de mise en prise s'étendant radialement ; et un arbre de commande s'étendant à l'intérieur de l'ouverture et ayant une seconde surface de mise en prise s'étendant radialement. L'arbre de commande peut être déplacé axialement par rapport au manchon d'essieu et est retenu axialement par rapport au manchon d'essieu au moyen d'une mise en prise de recouvrement entre les première et seconde surfaces de mise en prise. Au moins l'une des première et seconde surfaces de mise en prise peut être déplacée radialement entre une orientation engagée correspondant à la mise en prise de recouvrement et une orientation libérée correspondant à une libération de la mise en prise de recouvrement. La mise en prise de recouvrement sert à retenir axialement l'arbre de commande sur le manchon d'essieu et l'orientation libérée sert à retirer la mise en prise de recouvrement et permettre à l'arbre de commande d'être retiré axialement et séparé du manchon d'essieu dans la direction de rétraction.
