Abstract: A method and tooling for forming a cartridge case blank comprising backward extruding a tube from a length of wire stock in multiple backward extrusion steps with progressive tooling to obtain an intermediate blank that can be finish drawn without a preceding annealing step and which if otherwise not subjected to multiple backward extrusion steps, would require annealing prior to finish drawing to avoid tearing.

Abstract: A first vehicle wheel bearing has a monolithic shaft including two inner races and has a monolithic outer race assembly. A second bearing has a monolithic shaft including a shoulder and at least one inner race, wherein the shaft is positioned within the bore of a vehicle knuckle member with the shoulder abutting the knuckle. A third bearing has an end cap attached to an outer race assembly and covering the bearing-cavity outboard opening. A fourth bearing has an inboard seal covering the bearing-cavity inboard opening and extending outside the cavity to define a target ring for an ABS speed sensor. A fifth bearing has an ABS speed sensor positioned in the bearing cavity and attached to a shaft proximate the outboard opening and has a target ring positioned in the bearing cavity and attached to the outer race assembly.

Abstract: A wheel-speed sensor mechanism assembly, a vehicle wheel bearing including such assembly and a wheel speed sensor. The assembly includes a vehicle wheel-speed sensor mechanism (such as, but not limited to, an ABS wheel-speed sensor mechanism), a sensor-mechanism housing supporting the sensor mechanism, and an electrical plug. The electrical plug is substantially immovable attached to the sensor-mechanism housing, is electrically connected to the sensor mechanism and is adapted for electrical connection to a vehicle wire. The vehicle wheel bearing includes a target ring attached to a rotatable section of the wheel bearing and includes a sensor mechanism assembly having a sensor mechanism, a sensor-mechanism housing, and the previously-described electrical plug wherein the vehicle wire is a vehicle computer cable. The sensor mechanism senses rotation of the target ring. The sensor-mechanism housing supports the sensor mechanism and is attached to a non-rotatable section of the wheel bearing.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel stud and a vehicle wheel bearing including a wheel stud. The vehicle wheel stud includes a vehicle-wheel-stud body. A first portion of the body has wheel-bearing-engaging first external threads, and a second portion of the body has wheel-nut-engaging second external threads. The wheel bearing includes a rotatable section and a wheel stud. The rotatable section includes a hole having internal threads. A first portion of the wheel stud has first external threads threadably attached to the internal threads of the hole. A second portion of the wheel stud has wheel-nut-engaging second external threads.
