Description
CROSS TUBE ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001 ] The present invention relates to an adjustable cross tube assembly that can be set to match the length of OEM fixed length cross tube assemblies, and locked at the desired length, to cooperate with original specification outer tie rod ends.
Brief Description of the Prior Art
[0002] A steering linkage of some vehicles such as heavy duty trucks makes use of a straight cross tube with straight, or curved outer tie rod ends. While the outer tie rod ends attached to a steering knuckle are most prone to wear, occasionally the inner cross tube or attaching threads on the tube become damaged which affects steering safety, the ability to replace only the worn outer tie rod ends, or to adjust vehicle alignment.
[0003] Stocking cross tube replacement parts is a problem for dealers because cross tubes come in a number of different lengths and styles. This has been addressed in the prior art by providing an adjustable-length cross tube assembly, but in some alternatives, the original specification tie rod ends cannot be used with the replacement cross tube, and the repair requires use of longer, non-standard outer tie rods, or forces replacement of the entire assembly. Other alternatives can create a weak point due to the location of the length-adjusting feature.
[0004] While the extra-long tie rod ends may perform like the original parts, eventually these outer tie rod ends will require replacement. In such cases, a repair
requires using non-standard outer tie rods, or if the correct extra-long tie rod ends cannot be obtained, the full assembly must be replaced when only the typically- replaceable outer tie rods are worn.
[0005] Normal cataloging in the repair industry lists the originally specified outer tie rod ends, which in most cases will be too short and with incorrect attaching threads for use with the subject adjustable-length cross tube replacement products.
This can become a stocking nuisance, or cause extended delays for the shop performing the repairs.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] Among the objects of the present invention is to provide an adjustable- length cross tube assembly that may be used with original specification outer tie rod ends. This is an important safety feature as the length-adjusting feature of the present invention can be provided without creating a weak point in the cross tube, and the subject invention avoids unexpected potential delays and expense upon discovery that the original specification outer tie rod ends do not fit the application, and replacement of the entire assembly, or purchase of special non-standard outer tie rod ends is necessary.
[0007] Embodiments of the adjustable-length cross tube assembly fit the original space requirements, thereby reducing the possibility of interference with surrounding components.
[0008] Embodiments of the adjustable-length cross tube assembly have a geometry that meets or exceeds the strength requirements of the original equipment parts under field use conditions for both tension and compression applied load
conditions, including consideration for buckling. More particularly, an inner tube member of the assembly can be designed with a continuous and sufficiently large diameter to meet or exceed the strength of the original non-adjustable length cross tube assembly. Other prior art systems make use of a small diameter segment near the center of the replacement assembly that may become a weak point for buckling strength.
[0009] Other objects and features of the invention will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.
[00010] In accordance with the invention an adjustable-length, cross tube assembly includes an inner tube member, having opposite ends, each of which may have one or more longitudinally extended slots, into which is received an intermediate threaded rod member. The opposite ends of the inner tube member are internally threaded and the intermediate threaded rod member is externally threaded at a first end for telescoping engagement with said inner tube member. A first locking member is provided for securing the intermediate threaded rod member in a selected telescoped position within the inner tube member. The intermediate threaded rod member may have a longitudinally extended slots at a second end that is internally threaded and configured for threaded receipt of a conventional externally threaded outer tie rod member adapted for attachment to a steering knuckle. To this end, a conventional, externally threaded outer tie rod member is threaded into the second end of the intermediate threaded rod member into a selected telescoped position in the
intermediate threaded rod member and is fixed in position with a second locking member.
[0001 1 ] The invention summarized above comprises the constructions hereinafter described, the scope of the invention being indicted by the subjoined claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

As shown in both Fig. 1 and 2, cross tube assembly 10 includes an inner tube member 12 having opposite ends 14, 16 optionally with one or more longitudinal slots 18 into which is received an intermediate threaded rod member 20. Opposite ends 14, 16 of inner tube member 12 are internally threaded 22 and a first end 24 of intermediate threaded rod member 20 is for telescoping threaded engagement with internal threads 22 in inner tube member 12. A first locking means, several of which are shown in the drawings, is provided for securing intermediate threaded rod members 20 in a selected position for use as described below.
[00021 ] As shown in Fig. 2, first locking means is a jam nut 26 and intermediate threaded rod member 20 is provided with flats 28 for securing the intermediate threaded rod member in selected telescoped position in inner tube member 12 during tightening of jam nut 26 against the end of inner tube member 12. For further security, opposite ends 14, 16 of inner tube member 12 may be tapered 30 inwardly, or tapered and slotted for receipt in an outwardly tapered cavity 32 in jam nut 26. In Fig. 1 , first locking means is a C-clamp 34 with first and second ends through which a bolt 36 is passed for reducing the gap between first and second ends thereby securing intermediate threaded rod member 20 in selected telescoped position in inner tube member 12. A still further illustrative first locking means is shown in Figs. 3-7.
[00022] As shown in Fig. 3 the outside of opposite ends 14, 16 of inner tube member 12 are provided with opposing flats 38 for use with a locking washer 40 shown in Fig. 4 having a pair of opposing tabs 42 and opposing internal flats 44. In assembled condition for use in securing intermediate threaded rod member 20 in selected telescoped position in inner tube member 12 as shown in Fig. 5, tabs 42 are bent for engagement with flats 46 of jamb nut 26, while internal flats 44 engage with flats 38 of inner tube member 12, to prevent rotation of the locking tab washer 40 relative to inner tube member 12, as well as to restrain relative motion between jamb nut 46 and tab washer 40.
[00023] As shown in Fig 6, all features are similar to those of Fig. 5 except that second locking tab washer 40’ may be formed with a continuous OD and ID, with optional flats 44 in the ID, and with primary locking feature to resist motion between locking tab washer and jamb nut, as well as between locking tab washer and inner tube
member, achieved by bending the washer over flats of each named, cooperating component.
[00024] Referring back to Figs. 1 and 2, intermediate threaded rod member 20 may have a longitudinally extended slot 48 and is internally threaded 50 at a second end 52 opposite first end 24. Thus configured, a conventional externally threaded outer tie rod end 54 adapted for attachment to a steering knuckle (not shown) by stud member 55, or similar means, may be threaded into intermediate threaded rod member 20. A second locking member 56 may be used for securing the conventional, externally threaded outer tie rod end in selected telescoped position in intermediate threaded rod member 20. Second locking member 56, like first locking member, may take the form of any of various locking members commonly used in the automotive field.
[00025] As mentioned above, the diameter and material used for inner tube member 12 and intermediate threaded rod members 20 may be selected to meet or exceed the strength requirements of the original cross tube under field use conditions for both tension and compression, including consideration for buckling. Locking member 56 may be selected to clamp and lock the original application and original specification outer tie rod ends 54, as cataloged by the original manufacturer, or as listed in aftermarket supplier catalogs. Stocking problems, and delays caused by possible ordering of standard outer tie rod ends that will not fit the modified cross tube part requiring non-standard outer tie rod ends are thus avoided.
[00026] In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained. As various changes could be made in the above constructions without departing from the scope of the
invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
