Abstract
A pulser ring has cylindrical inner and outer rings nested together. The inner ring is formed at its one end with protrusions arranged at equal angular intervals. The outer ring is in the shape of a round comb and has its teeth engaged at a portion near the tip thereof in the grooves defined between the adjacent protrusions formed on the inner ring. The tip of each tooth protruding from the grooves is bent radially inwardly so as to engage the end face of the protrusion on the inner ring, thus coupling the inner ring and the outer ring together.
Claims1
A pulser ring comprising an inner ring made from a steel plate, and an outer ring made from a steel plate, said inner ring being formed at one end thereof with a plurality of protrusions equally angularly spaced therebetween and extending radially outwardly, said outer ring being formed with a plurality of teeth arranged with equal angular spacings so as to extend axially, said outer ring being fitted on said inner ring with said teeth on said outer ring held in grooves formed between said protrusions on said inner ring, the tips of said teeth bent inwardly against the end of said inner ring to couple said outer ring with said inner ring.
