  • Patent number: 5707153
    Abstract: A bearing unit for linearly moving selector shafts in a toothed-wheel gearbox with rows of beating balls in a cage rolling on the one hand on an inner surface of a sleeve permanently fitted to the gearbox housing and on the other hand on the gear change shaft. The sleeve has a flange at one end by which the sleeve can be secured to a gearbox housing in such a way that it extends freely into the gearbox housing over its entire length.

  • Patent number: 5335998
    Abstract: An axial beaing unit comprising two bearing discs (1, 2) with rolling elements (3) disposed therebetween, each of the bearing discs (1, 2) comprising an axially oriented cylindrical flange, which cylindrical flanges overlap each other in the axial direction, the flange of one of the bearing discs (1) being made as an overhanging flange (9) comprising a radially projecting end portion (3) at its free end (11), and the flange of the other bearing disc (2) being a retaining flange (10) comprising a retaining surface (14) facing the end portion (13), the end portion (13) engaging behind the retaining surface (14) so that the bearing discs are connected to each other secure against loss, characterized in that the radially projecting end portion (13) comprises several elastically yielding bosses (12) made without chip-removal and arranged spaced apart on the circumference of the end portion (13), which bosses (12) engage as a result of radial elastic relaxation behind the retaining surface (14).

  • Patent number: 5309787
    Abstract: A locking pin, in particular for the securing of shift positions of a shift linkage in automobile transmissions, comprises a hollow cylindrical shaft portion (1) which is drawn from thin-walled sheet metal and closed at one end by a bottom (2). This bottom (2) projects radially beyond the shaft portion (1). A locking element (3) projecting out of the shaft portion (1) at the open end thereof is guided longitudinally displaceable in the shaft portion (1), retained secure against loss und pre-tensioned in the locking direction by a spring (4). To obtain a locking pin which is cost-effective in manufacturing and easily dismountable, a diameter enlargement (7) serving as a stop is provided at a pre-determined distance both from the open end of the shaft portion (1) and from the bottom (2).

  • Patent number: 5114249
    Abstract: An axial rolling bearing comprising a cage containing rolling elements and arranged between two plane-parallel, thin-walled bearing discs made of sheet metal, wherein the three components together form a structural unit by engaging together in a form-locking manner and at least one of the bearing discs merges at one of its peripheral edges into an axially directed collar which engages around the cage with clearance and extends into the region of the second bearing disc characterized in that there is a narrow guiding clearance at at least some peripheral points between the mutually facing peripheral surface of the collar and of the second bearing disc respectively.

  • Patent number: 4993849
    Abstract: A radial rolling bearing with an outer race ring having at least one radial flange which engages in a peripheral groove of a cage in which rolling elements arranged in pockets are lodged, characterized in that the radial flange delimits an opening through which the cage, radially offset with regard to the bearing axis, can be inserted axially into the race ring by parallel displacement.

  • Patent number: 4544212
    Abstract: A rolling bearing for longitudinal movements of limited slide path for guiding a rectangular cross-section bar comprising an outer element, an inner element and rows of balls rolling between said elements, the outer element on whose bore wall the balls roll being insertable into a cylindrical housing bore and the inner element, being provided with straight, axially extending inner ball races and at least partially surrounding the rectangular cross-section bar, bears against the bar by the back of its ball races, characterized in that the outer element is formed as a cylindrical tube section and the inner element is connected to the bar to form a structural unit so that it is retained on the bar in its position required for operation and a cage retaining the balls at the inner element is provided which cage forms a structural unit with the inner element.

  • Patent number: 4380019
    Abstract: A mechanical device for monitoring the supply of ink in an ink storage reservoir carried by the printing carriage of an ink printing device is situated at one end of the path of movement for the printing carriage. The ink reservoir is mounted on the printing carriage and contains a freely reciprocable tappet member having an upstanding stem extending through the housing cover of the ink reservoir which is freely movable up and down in accordance with the level of remaining ink supply. The mechanical monitoring device is operated dependent upon the vertical position of the tappet stem each time a printing operation is begun by virtue of movement of the printing carriage toward the monitoring device so that the relative position of the tappet member may be sensed by the device.
