Abstract
Abstract A bearing assembly for a wheel-mounting arrangement for a vehicle consisting of a stub axle member adapted to be mounted on a support member of the vehicle comprising at least one pair of axially spaced circumferentially extending inner raceways integral with the stub axle member, a common outer ring overlying said raceways and spaced therefrom to define an annular space for at least two rows of rolling elements, the wheel of the vehicle adapted to be mounted on said outer ring.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A nondriven wheel-mounting assembly of a motor-propelled vehicle such as an automobile having a support member, a stub axle member, means for detachably mOunting said stub axle member to the support member of the vehicle, at least one pair of axially spaced circumferentially extending inner raceways integral with the stub axle member, a one-piece common outer race ring overlying said raceways and spaced therefrom to define an annular space for at least two rows of rolling elements, said outer ring having means integral with it to which the wheel of the vehicle can be secured, said stub axle member, inner raceway means and ring forming an integral easily replaceably unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A nondriven wheel-mounting assembly of a motor-propelled vehicle such as an automobile having a support member, a stub axle member, means for detachably mOunting said stub axle member to the support member of the vehicle, at least one pair of axially spaced circumferentially extending inner raceways integral with the stub axle member, a one-piece common outer race ring overlying said raceways and spaced therefrom to define an annular space for at least two rows of rolling elements, said outer ring having means integral with it to which the wheel of the vehicle can be secured, said stub axle member, inner raceway means and ring forming an integral easily replaceably unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the inner bearing raceway surfaces have been ground into the material of the stub axle member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that at least one inner bearing raceway surface is on a ring that has been nondetachably fixed to the stub axle member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the nondetachable ring for the inner bearing raceway surface has been attached to the stub axle member by cold-forming of the material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the stub axle member has been passed through an opening in the support member and has been locked in on the one side by a shoulder formed on the outside of said stub axle member and on the other side by a nut placed on an external screw thread of said stub axle member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the stub axle member consists of a body having a flange on the inside provided with means for the attachment to the support member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that the body provided with a flange is a pressed sheet metal body.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 6 characterized in that the body consists of two shallow, conically shaped half shells attached to each other with their bottom parts, the innermost one containing the flange on its edge.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
48 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 6 characterized in that the body consists of a hollow, truncated, conically shaped part with a flange on the part with the greatest diameter, while an inner ring has been attached to the end by deforming this end in an outward direction.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
43 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 6 characterized in that the body consists of two parts that fit onto each other via a cylindrical plane and are nondetachably linked to each other forming each a bearing surface or carrying one at the outside.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
27 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the brake disc or brake drum has been nondetachably linked with the outer ring of the bearing.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim

An assembly as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that the disc with the insertion of an isolation has been directly, securely attached to the outer ring in such a way that it is forming a unit with the ring.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
35 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 11, in which the outer ring has a flange for the attachment to the disc, characterized in that the disc has been placed on the inside of the flange.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
28 words
An assembly as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the outer ring has a closed cap that closes off the bearings and the stub axle member completely.
