Patent number: 9732837Abstract: An idle gear assembly comprises an outer ring having gear teeth formed on an external surface thereof and engaged with a crank gear and any one of the left and right balance gears. A bearing includes an inner member and an outer member in a radial direction of the bearing and a plurality of rolling bodies disposed between the inner member and the outer member. A ring has elasticity in a radial direction thereof. A hub has a flange, which is in contact with the bearing, and a penetration hole. The flange and the penetration hole are formed at one side of the hub in an axial direction. A nut is inserted through another side and mounted at a hollow portion of the ring. A bolt is inserted through the insertion hole of the bearing, the penetration hole, and the nut and fixes the bearing and the hub.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANYInventor: Ahn Lee
