  • Double nut
    Patent number: 10087977
    Abstract: A double nut is provided in which a flange nut and an insert nut are coupled. The flange nut has a longitudinal axis and has, in an end region facing the insert nut, a stop surface and a wall surface. The insert nut has a longitudinal axis and has at least one snap element in an end region facing the flange nut. The stop surface extends over the at least one snap element radially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the flange nut. The flange nut has a guide surface in the end region facing the insert nut which is disposed closer to the longitudinal axis of the flange nut than the wall surface.

  • Arrangement with joint and gearwheel body
    Patent number: 8696472
    Abstract: An arrangement with a joint and a gearwheel body for a transmission is provided in which the joint is a constant velocity joint arranged at least partially in an interior space enclosed by the gearwheel body. The constant velocity joint has inner and outer hub tracks and a bearing cage arranged to maintain an essentially constant control angle between tangential ball contact points with the inner and outer tracks while the bearing cage holds the balls in a plane.
