Abstract: A bearing blank is cast or machined of iron to a configuration near a final shape of a desired bearing element (10). A first surface (12) of the bearing blank, corresponding to a sliding surface of the desired bearing element, is remelted while other portions of the bearing blank remain in a solid state. The remelted first surface (18) is quenched such that fine particles of iron carbide precipitate in a remelted zone having an increased hardness and a decreased presence of graphite particles. A bearing element having a core portion composed of iron and an integral first surface portion including a precipitate of fin iron carbide particles, and having greater hardness and lesser incidence of graphite particles than the core portion, is also described.

Abstract: A vehicle steering column adjustment and energy absorbing mechanism includes a steering column tube (1) slidably mounted in a support member (2). A toothed slipper (8) releasably engages with a toothed rack (3) on the tube (1) to lock the steering column relatively to the support member (2), a cam (7) being provided to provide the locking action. The energy absorbing mechanism is provided by a strap (11) which is rigidly joined to the slipper (8) and is bent over a pin (12) so that, in the event of vehicle crash with the rack and slipper locked together, energy imparted to the steering column causes the outer tube (1) to move to cause the locking means to draw the strap (11) around the pin, thereby to absorb energy.

Abstract: A clamping mechanism for an adjustable steering column incorporates a pre-set but variable preload. An operating handle (4) is fitted on a shaft (5) to rotate between clamped and unclamped conditions. Part of the shaft is provided with opposed flats (6) about which a shaft lock washer (7) is non-rotatably fitted. The lock washer operates with a stop member (11) to prevent rotation of the assembly, and a nut (13) is tightened on one end (8) of the shaft to the required preload.

Abstract: A bearing assembly (10) is mounted on an eccentric sleeve (12) having a bore for receiving a rotatable shaft (14). After the bearing assembly (10) is mounted on the eccentric sleeve (12), a counterweight lobe is mounted on the eccentric sleeve, abutting the bearing assembly, to control dynamic balance of the bearing and sleeve assembly and to restrain movement of the bearing assembly along the axis of the bore. The eccentric sleeve and counterweight lobe are keyed together to prevent relative rotation therebetween.

Abstract: A bearing (20) has an inner ring (24) coaxial to and rotatable relative to an outer ring (20). A central bore (36) of the inner ring (24) accommodates a multi-sided shaft in at least two positions that are angularly offset relative to each other. Each position provides a different fit between the inner ring (24) and the shaft. A preferred embodiment has a 12-pointed star-shaped bore defined by the superposition of two hexagons of slightly different scale, to accommodate a hexagonal shaft in either of two positions. The second position provides a tighter fit between the bearing and the shaft without requiring tighter manufacturing tolerances.
