Abstract
A synchronizing ring (1, 8, 13) having a substantially cone-shaped annular body (2, 10, 14, 21) is made by shaping out of sheet metal and is provided on its end section (2b) having the small cone-diameter, with stops (5, 6, 7) that extend in radial direction beyond the contour of the outer peripheral surface of the annular body (2, 10, 12, 14).
Claims3
A synchronizing ring (1) of a synchronizing device comprising:
- an annular body (2), a gearing (3) and at least one stop,
- the annular body (2) is made of sheet metal and is cone-shaped,
- the annular body (2) is delimited by a first end section (2a) and a second end section (2b), the first end section (2a) having the largest cone-diameter of the cone-shaped annular body (2) and the second end section (2b) having the smallest cone-diameter of the cone-shaped annular body (2),
- the annular body (2) comprising on its inner peripheral surface, a friction surface,
- the gearing (3) extends from the first end section (2a) of the annular body (2) and projects beyond the outer peripheral surface of the annular body (2), and
- the stop is formed integrally on the annular body (2) while being arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the annular body (2) and projecting radially outwards beyond the outer peripheral surface of the annular body (2),
- characterized in that the stop is formed by a radially outward oriented tab (5, 6, 7), said tab (5, 6, 7) is arranged on the second end section (2b) of the annular body (2) and is bent outwards from the second end section of the body (2) and said tab (5, 7) is extending radially from the second end section (2b) of the annular body (2).
