Abstract
A longitudinal axial securing device for permanently securing a drive-train connection of a vehicle forms the longitudinal axial securing device as a coupling device, which includes at least one latching tooth. The latching tooth is capable of being inserted radially into the drive-train connection. For this purpose the coupling means includes a tooth support in addition to the at least one latching tooth, the at least one latching tooth being formed in one piece with the tooth support.
Claims14
A longitudinal axial securing device comprising a coupling drive comprising a tooth support and at least one latching tooth radially insertable into a drive-train connection of a vehicle, wherein the at least one latching tooth is formed in one piece with the tooth support.
An assembly comprising:
- (a) a drive-train connection of a vehicle comprising first and second structural parts to be coupled, said first structural part being formed as a shaft, said second structural part being formed as an articulated joint comprising a first articulated-joint part and a second articulated-joint part, said first articulated-joint part being connected to the shaft by spline-shaft toothings so as to rotate about an axis of rotation;
- and
- (b) a longitudinal axial securing device for permanently securing the drive-train connection, said longitudinal axial securing device comprising a coupling device comprising a tooth support and at least one latching tooth radially inserted into the drive-train connection, said at least one latching tooth being formed in one piece with the tooth support.
A drive-train connection assembly comprising:
- (a) a longitudinal axial securing device comprising a coupling device;
- and
- (b) a drive-train connection comprising first and second structural parts, said first structural part comprising a first toothing, said second structural part comprising a second toothing, said first and second structural parts being connected by the first and second structural toothings so as to rotate together around an axis of rotation;
- wherein said coupling device comprises a tooth support and at least one latching tooth formed in one piece with the tooth support and inserted radially into the drive-train connection.
