Abstract
A nested bushing arrangement may comprise a first nested bushing coupled to a second nested bushing. Each nested bushing may comprise a mating aperture located opposite an annulus body. The annulus body of each nested bushing may insert within the mating aperture of the opposite nested bushing to couple the first nested bushing to the second nested bushing.
Claims16
A nested bushing arrangement, comprising:
- a first bushing having a first tubular portion and a first flange that extends radially from near a first longitudinal end of the first tubular portion, the first flange having a first opening;
- a second bushing having a second tubular portion and a second flange that extends radially from near a first longitudinal end of the second tubular portion, the second flange having a second opening;
- and
- a member comprising a third opening and a fourth opening, the member disposed between the first flange and the second flange, wherein a first outer radial surface of the first tubular portion is press fitted into the third opening in the member, and wherein a second outer radial surface of the second tubular portion is press fitted into the fourth opening in the member,
- the first bushing and the second bushing being sized and configured to allow a second longitudinal end of the first tubular portion to extend at least partially through the second opening while a second longitudinal end of the second tubular portion extends at least partially through the first opening.

A nested bushing arrangement, comprising:
- a first nested bushing having a first mating aperture defining a first void on a first outer surface of a flange end of the first nested bushing, and a first annulus defining a second void on the first outer surface of a first connecting end of the first nested bushing, wherein the first annulus comprises a first annulus body extending at a first length away from a first inner surface of the first nested bushing, and wherein the first mating aperture and the first annulus are separated by a first distance;
- a second nested bushing having a second mating aperture defining a third void on a second outer surface of a flange end of the second nested bushing, and a second annulus defining a fourth void on the second outer surface of a second connecting end of the second nested bushing, wherein the second annulus comprises a second annulus body extending at a second length away from a second inner surface of the second nested bushing, wherein the second mating aperture and the second annulus are separated by a second distance;
- and
- a member comprising a first opening and a second opening, the member disposed between the first inner surface of the first nested bushing and the second inner surface of the second nested busing, wherein a first outer radial surface of the first annulus body press fitted into the first opening in the member, and wherein a second outer radial surface of the second annulus body is press fitted into the second opening in the member,
- wherein the first nested bushing is configured to be coupled to the second nested bushing by inserting the first annulus body into the second mating aperture and the second annulus body into the first mating aperture.
