  • Patent number: 8690173
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle steering system, comprising a steering housing (7) in which a steering rack (6) is mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner and is connected to tie rods (8) to swivel steerable wheels (9), the steering rack (6) being provided with a first toothed segment (5) which meshes with a first steering pinion (4) and the steering pinion (4) being connected to a steering wheel (1) for conjoint rotation by a steering shaft (2, 3), the steering rack (6) having a second toothed segment (13) which is opposite the first toothed segment (4) relative to the longitudinal axis of the steering rack (6), and that a second steering pinion (12) is provided which meshes with the second toothed segment (13).

  • Patent number: 7887069
    Abstract: A toothed rack or threaded rod, in particular for a steering mechanism for a motor vehicle, includes a first rod-shaped part which, as a function element of the toothed rack or threaded rod, includes at least one element for the conversion of a rotational movement into a translational movement, in particular a toothing and/or a threading for the engagement of a threaded nut or of a threaded drive, and a second rod-shaped part which is connected with the first rod-shaped part. The connection of the first with the second rod-shaped part takes place via a separate connection part which includes first and second connection pins, of which the first connection pin is held by press fit in the hollow volume opening out at the connection end of the first rod-shaped part and the second connection pin is held by press fit in the hollow volume opening out at the connection end of the second rod-shaped part.

  • Publication number: 20100052280
    Abstract: The invention relates to a toothed rod or a threaded rod, particularly for a steering device for a motor vehicle, comprising a first rod-shaped pan which has at least one element for converting a rotational movement into a translational movement, said element being the functional element of the toothed rod or threaded rod, and being particularly a teething and/or a threading for engaging in a threaded nut or a threaded mechanism. The invention also has a second rod-shaped part which is connected to the first rod-shaped part and which preferably has at least one additional functional element of the toothed rod or threaded rod. The rod-shaped parts have hollow cavities which open toward connection ends in which connecting pins of a separate connection part are held by a press fit for the purpose of connecting the rod-shaped parts.
