Abstract: A tool accessory having an attachment portion having a first aperture for attaching to a tool and a removable portion, wherein in a first configuration the removable portion is engaged with the attachment portion, and in a second configuration the removable portion is disengaged from the attachment portion.

Abstract: Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of a retainer system for a ground engaging tool. In one exemplary embodiment, the retainer system may include a lock having a C-shaped portion defining a lock slot between two circumferential ends for receiving a portion of a support member to be locked with the ground engaging tool. The retainer system may also include a retainer bushing having an inner surface configured to receive the lock, where the lock may be rotatable relative to the retainer bushing and about a retainer axis between an unlocked position and a locked position. The retainer system may further include a cover piece configured to be attached to the retainer bushing for covering the lock slot of the lock when the lock is in the locked position.

Abstract: A semiconductor device that can prevent short-circuit occurring between capacitor electrodes and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device are obtained. A semiconductor includes two capacitor electrodes formed spaced from each other and including conductive impurities of the first conductivity type, and an electrode isolation film located between the two capacitor electrodes and formed at the same layer as that of the two capacitor electrodes, while including conductive impurities of the second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. This allows the two capacitor electrodes to be electrically isolated from each other, without the etching step or the like, by introducing conductive impurities of the second conductivity type into a region that is located between the two capacitor electrodes and is formed at the same layer as that of the capacitor electrodes.

Abstract: Integrated wheel and wheel hub assembly for a vehicle, including a wheel hub (3), a wheel (2), carried by the wheel hub (3), a suspension mount (5) to connect the wheel hub (3) to the vehicle body, a rolling bearing, interposed between the wheel hub (3) and the suspension mount (5), and a brake rotor (39). The wheel includes a a rim (10) for the insertion of a tire (11) and a wheel flange (13), substantially radial, to connect the rim (10) with the wheel hub (3), the empty wheel flange (13) being prepared as an independent component, both of the rim (10) and of the wheel hub (3), and being connected solidly axially and angularly and in a secured manner to the wheel huo (3), and being connectable in a removable way to the rim (10).

Abstract: A disc or drum brake member is usually connected to the flange of the bearing of a motor vehicle wheel; possible manufacturing errors in the flange of the bearing, and/or the brake member cause, on tightening the wheel to the flange, deformations in the bearing tracks and the active surfaces of the brake member; to avoid this, an elastically-yielding connection element is interposed, connected to the bearing on one side and the brake member on the other side, and constituted by a bell of sheet metal, dimensioned to present a high torsional rigidity associated with a limited axial rigidity to absorb and neutralise the tensions produced on tightening the screws holding the wheel to the flange of the bearing, even in the presence of manufacturing errors on the corresponding facing surfaces of the parts to be joined.

Abstract: There is disclosed a wheel hub or hub unit of the type having a radial hub flange (13) providing connection to the wheel (40) and to a brake member (10) having an annular disc portion having a plurality of ears (11) radially protruding from its inner edge. The hub flange (13) defines a plurality of axial passages, in the form of peripheral radial recesses (19) or bores (17, 17') for slipping a plurality of axial pins (30) to be fitted in holes (12) obtained in the brake member ears (11) and in openings (22) obtained in at least one radial wall (23) of a brake carrier (20) rotatably fast with the hub (14) to rotationally secure the brake member (10) to the hub. When the wheel (40) is mounted on the outside of the hub flange, axial movement of the pins towards the outside is stopped by the wheel.

Abstract: A hub and rotor combination for a vehicle wheel assembly including a hub having a central bore with an axis about which the combination is rotatable, a connector formed integrally with and extending radially outwardly from the hub substantially normal to the central axis, and a rotor formed integrally with an extending radially outwardly from the connector. The rotor includes a pair of first and second disk shaped ring plate portions disposed substantially normal to the central axis and spaced from each other by a plurality of radially extending, circumferentially spaced spacers to permit airflow between the rotor plate portions. The inner bore of the hub is splined to receive and engage splines on a spindle mounting.

Abstract: A wheel assembly (10) for a vehicle comprising a rotor (12) having a central portion (14) with a periphery, a wheel mounting surface (16), and a hub mounting surface (18) opposite the wheel mounting surface (16). A hub (26) and a wheel (24) are mounted to the rotor (12) in a sandwich arrangement. The rotor (12) has a recess (30) about the periphery of the wheel mounting surface (16) of the central portion (14). The recess (30) enables the wheel (24) to be mounted on the rotor (12) to isolate clamping forces of the wheel (24) to prevent the wheel mounting forces from creating a moment which would move the disc portion (20) of the rotor (12) out of radial alignment with the wheel (24), i.e., to prevent runout of the rotor (12).

Abstract: A manually adjustable wheel for, e.g. a tractor, comprising a generally octagonal disc having four longer sides and four shorter sides, the rim having lugs to which the disc is bolted, the rim/disc bolts being arranged in pairs on the shorter sides of the disc only.
