Abstract
A motor-vehicle gear arrangement for a power-assist gearing in a motor vehicle, that includes a gear, a flange arrangement including at least one flange, wherein the gear is located adjacent to the flange in the flange arrangement so as to rotate about a common axis, and at least one connecting element to connect the gear to the at least one flange. This gear arrangement, or a flange for this gear arrangement, is advantageous due to the fact that the ribs are formed on the flange laterally within a plane perpendicularly to the rotational axis so as to reinforce the flange.

Motor-vehicle gear arrangement for a power-assist gearing, comprising:
- a gear;
- a flange arrangement including at least one flange, wherein the gear is located adjacent to the flange so as to rotate about a common axis, a metallic hub is inserted into an axial opening of the flange in a rotationally fixed manner for the purpose of introducing a spindle, the flange is fabricated out of plastic, where the flange includes a lateral surface, a plurality of ribs formed on the lateral surface reinforcing the flange, and a plurality of passages, where the plurality of ribs include radially extending ribs, at least one circumferentially extending rib, and a plurality of circumferentially ring shaped ribs, where the radially extending ribs and the circumferentially extending rib are arranged in a framework, and where each of the circumferentially ring shaped ribs extends around a respective one of the passages;
- and
- a plurality of pin-shaped connecting elements axially extending through the gear and the passages in the flange connecting the gear to the flange, where each of the pin-shaped connecting elements are in contact with a respective one of the circumferentially ring shaped ribs.
