Abstract
Abstract A bearing assembly for a driven wheel mounting arrangement for a vehicle including a part of a homokinetic coupling, an axle member secured to said part of the homokinetic coupling and a support member on which the axle is supported, said bearing assembly comprising an outer ring for at least two rows of rolling elements including means to secure the outer ring to the support member, flange means for attaching the wheel to the axle, means defining an inner raceway surface on the axle for the rows of rolling elements characterized in that said flange means, axle and inner raceway means form an integral unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly for a vehicle having a support member, an axle member forming part of a homokinetic coupling, a common outer ring for at least two rows of rolling elements including means to detachably secure the outer ring to the support member, said common outer ring and means for securing the outer ring to the support member being one piece, flange means for detachably attaching a driven wheel of the vehicle to the axle, means defining an inner raceway surface on the axle for the rows of rolling elements characterized in that said flange means, axle and inner raceway means form an integral unit, said flange means and means for securing the outer ring to the support member being closely spaced axially to minimize the moment load on the assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly for a vehicle having a support member, an axle member forming part of a homokinetic coupling, a common outer ring for at least two rows of rolling elements including means to detachably secure the outer ring to the support member, said common outer ring and means for securing the outer ring to the support member being one piece, flange means for detachably attaching a driven wheel of the vehicle to the axle, means defining an inner raceway surface on the axle for the rows of rolling elements characterized in that said flange means, axle and inner raceway means form an integral unit, said flange means and means for securing the outer ring to the support member being closely spaced axially to minimize the moment load on the assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the bearing surfaces have been ground into the material of the axle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, with at least one inner ring, characterized in that this has been locked by the nondetachable attachment of the outer flange to the axle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the axle together with the part of the coupling has been manufactured as a pressing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 4 characterized in that the axle consists of two shell- or bowl-shaped pressings that are attached to each other with their bottom planes standing perpendicularly on the central axis of the axle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
74 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 4 characterized in that the axle consists of two parts attached to each other nondetachably with cylindrical plans and the one part of which is forming a whole with the flange for the wheel and the other part is forming a whole with the clutch housing and of which each of these parts are forming an inner bearing surface for the rows of rolling elements.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the brake disc or drum has been nondetachably attached to said flange means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 7 characterized in that the brake disc or drum is formed integrally with said flange means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly as claimed in claim 7 characterized in that the brake disc or drum has been attached to the inside of said flange means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
128 words
A driven wheel mounting assembly for a vehicle having a support member, an axle member forming part of a homokinetic coupling, an outer ring for at least two rows of rolling elements including means to detachably secure the outer ring to the support member, flange means for detachably attaching a driven wheel of the vehicle to the axle, means defining an inner raceway surface on the axle for the rows of rolling elements characterized in that said flange means, axle and inner raceway means form an integral unit, said flange means and means for securing the outer ring to the support member being closely spaced axially to minimize the moment load on the assembly, said axle member and part of the homokinetic coupling being manufactured as a pressing.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
128 words
