International Classification:

F16D 65/14

US Classification:

18820600A

Abstract:

A brake spider includes a spider body with a central opening and a slot for receiving a camshaft and bracket assembly. The brake spider is attached to an axle housing via the central opening. The slot is defined by an inner surface that does not completely surround the camshaft. The slot allows the camshaft and bracket assembly to be removed from a wheel end assembly for service operations without having to remove other components from the wheel end assembly, such as a wheel hub, for example.

International Classification:

F16H 144

US Classification:

184 612

Abstract:

A pressurized lubrication system for a rotatable power shaft of a power transmission device includes a pump which is mounted on the housing of the power transmission device. The pump has a drive shaft which is coaxially aligned with the power shaft and coupled to a free end thereof so that the pump will be operated by rotation of the power shaft. The pump takes in suction from the oil sump and discharges lubricating oil under pressure to a region of the housing which is defined shaft sealing to enclose the free end of the power shaft therein. Lubricating oil is delivered through a central bore in the power shaft which has an opened end at the free end of the power shaft to be then transmitted through radial passages to various elements which are mounted on the power shaft for independent relative rotation.

B60K 1734

US Classification:

74477

Abstract:

An interlock device for a shift mechanism of a multi-speed power transmission device includes a shift rod capable of selective axial positioning at a plurality of predetermined locations for specific gear ratio operating conditions and a neutral non-operating condition. The shift rod includes detents in the surface thereof associated with these locations and a position locating device is aligned with the shift rod to be capable of being forced into engaging contact with one of these detents by the introduction of pressurized air into a power cylinder acting thereon. Selective axial positioning of the shift rod is prevented when the torque transmitting power source providing the input to the transmission device is in a power mode and causes the pressurized air to be applied to the power cylinder.

International Classification:

F16H 5704
F16H 3700

US Classification:

74467

Abstract:

A lubrication system is for a power take off assembly and a drive shaft therefor. The drive shaft is mounted for rotation within a housing having a lubricating oil sump and is hollow to include lubricating supply passages therein. The power take off assembly includes a casing sealingly secured to the housing about an opening which provides access to the open end of the hollow drive shaft. Within the casing is a take off shaft which is coaxially aligned with the drive shaft and a device for selectively coupling the take off shaft to the drive shaft. The lubrication system includes a pump which is driven by a gear rigidly secured to the end of the drive shaft and provides lubricating oil from the sump to the end of the power take off assembly casing remote from the housing. Lubricating oil passes through the interior of the power take off casing to the end of the drive shaft to provide lubricating oil therefor.
