Abstract
To obtain an elastic joint of which one end is formed by a heading process, with tooth marking in relief, provision of a toothed rivet is provided. These teeth on the rivets are such that they form cavities interspersed with teeth marked on the edge of one end of the joint. It is shown that, by acting in this way, fewer teeth are needed and a correct indexation of the rivet during its successive revolutions is ensured. A lower number of teeth is favorable to a better blockage of the elastic joint against a side plate of a vehicle chassis.
Claims13
1- heading process for a socket, in which
- a socket (1) is produced,
- one end (7) of the socket is subjected to a heading process (11) in order to form teeth (23) in relief on the edge (17) of one end of this socket.
- These teeth are characterized by the fact that:
- in the course of this heading process, cavities (24) are made on the edge of the end of this socket.
2- Process according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that
- during the heading process, an enlargement (8, 9) is formed on one end of the socket, whose end features these teeth.
3- Process according to one of claims 1 to 2, characterized by the fact that
- these cavities are used to create a fine marking (33).**
4- Process according to one of claims 1 to 3, characterized by the fact that
- an elastic coupling is made on the socket, before the heading, in order to form an elastic joint.
5- Socket (1) featuring an edge (17) on the end of the socket, which has tightening teeth that are radially oriented relative to an axis of the socket, these teeth being in relief, characterized by the fact that the end features cavities (24) interspersed with teeth in relief.
6- Socket according to claim 5, characterized by the fact that it has an expansion at one end whose face is provided with these teeth.
7- Socket according to one of claims 5 to 6, characterized by the fact that the expansion and/or the teeth in relief and the cavities are obtained with a rivet.
8- Socket according to one of claims 5 to 7, characterized by the fact that these cavities have a radial orientation.
9- Socket according to one of claims 5 to 8, characterized by the fact that the teeth and/or the cavities are not pierced through (29, 30).
10- Socket according to one of claims 5 to 9, characterized by the fact that it features an elastic coupling, engaged on the socket and featuring a cylindrical intermediate armature (5) and two elastic enclosures (3, 4) engaged onto one side and on another of this intermediate armature.
11- Socket according to one of claims 5 to 10, characterized by the fact that the end features eight teeth in relief and four grooved teeth.
12- Socket according to one of claims 5 to 11, characterized by the fact that the cavities feature, in the circular direction, a triangular profile with a top angle that is shallower than the top angle of the profile of the teeth.
13- Socket according to one of claims 5 to 12, characterized by the fact that the end of the socket features a marking indication.
