  • STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20230057491
    Abstract: A steering shaft assembly (10) for a motor vehicle is described, comprising a first shaft (20) and a second shaft (22), both of which are rotatable about a central axis (24). The second shaft (22) is a hollow shaft and a portion of the first shaft (20) is received so as to be axially displaceable inside the second shaft (22). The first shaft (20) and the second shaft (22) are also coupled in a torque-transmitting manner via two rotary coupling mechanisms (26, 28) separate from each other.

  • Turnbuckle assembly
    Patent number: 7182544
    Abstract: A turnbuckle assembly (20) includes a first one-piece sleeve (30) having first and second axial ends (32, 34). The first axial end (32) of the first sleeve (30) has an internally threaded portion (35) which threadably engages a first threaded part (120). The first axial end (32) of the first sleeve (30) includes an integrally formed clamp (38) which clamps the first axial end (32) to the first threaded part (120). A second one-piece sleeve (60) has first and second axial ends (62, 64). The first axial end (62) of the second sleeve (60) has an internally threaded portion (65) which threadably engages a second threaded part (122). The first axial end (62) of the second sleeve (60) includes an integrally formed clamp (68) which clamps the first axial end (62) to the second threaded part (122). A connector member (90) interconnects the first and second sleeves(30, 60).
