Collar Having End-Side Teeth For a Drivable Wheel Hub
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A collar made from plastically shaped material of a hub, with which at least one inner ring of a wheel bearing unit is secured axially in a fixed manner on the hub and in which teeth for engagement in a mating toothing are formed at the end, the collar comprising:
- the collar is formed from a hollow end piece, shaped radially outward over an edge of the inner ring, on the hub,the end piece is formed in one piece with the hub,the end piece points in the axial direction in its initial state before the collar is formed, and protrudes axially beyond the edge at the same time,the end piece has, at least at the section at which it protrudes axially beyond the edge, an accumulation of the material of the end piece in the form of a radially thickened portion on the end piece.

6. A collar made from material of a hub which is subjected to cold plastic shaping and with which at least one inner ring of a wheel bearing unit is secured axially in a fixed fashion on the hub, and in which teeth for engagement in a mating toothing are formed at the end, comprising:
-
the teeth are adjacent to one another at the circumference around the rotational axis and are aligned radially lengthwise, the contour of the teeth is represented in respective sections, extending through the tooth head along the rotational axis, as a line segment, wherein the line segment delineates the respective tooth head at the end, the shortest radial distance between the end points of the line segment is at least of precisely the same size, when viewed in an axial projection of the line segment, as half the maximum length of the respective tooth in the radial direction when viewed in an axial projection. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
