Abstract: A rack and pinion assembly, especially suitable for a vehicle steering gear, of the type having a pinion rotatably mounted in a housing meshed with the rack of a rack bar movable longitudinally through the housing wherein the pinion is radially adjusted, and in some embodiments also axially adjusted, by inexpensive plastics material, radial and thrust bearing means at one location in the housing around a free end of the pinion. The bearing means include a radial displaceable plastics ring in bearing relation with a free end portion of the pinion adjacent the pinion teeth either directly or through collars on the pinion portion. The plastics ring may be in one piece and split or may be in several segments and is sufficiently resilient to contract and expand under the influence of applied forces from an adjustable cap in the housing or means on the free end of the pinion.

Abstract: A collapsible steering column employs a telescopic coaxial shaft and tube structure and a separate deforming member within the tube which is forced through the tube by the shaft upon axial collapse of the assembly to deform, or be deformed by, the tube with consequent absorption of energy. The deforming member may be dish-shaped, a plug, a collapsible split ring, or other suitable shape and may be constructed of a ductile material such as mild steel, copper, aluminum or plastics, or a rubbery material.

Abstract: A vehicle steering gear assembly of the type in which steering movement is imparted from a movable steering member through a tie rod member interconnected therewith by a universal joint; wherein one of the aforementioned members has an undercut part and that member is secured to the universal joint by deformation of a component part of the joint to form an interference fit with the undercut part of that member, preferably by inward deformation of a tubular component part of the joint over the undercut part of that member which the said tubular component part receives.

Abstract: An integral power steering gear having a primary or input shaft, a secondary shaft, a valve mechanism and a power piston, all mounted on a single housing in axial alignment with one another. The power piston is movable axially relative to the valve mechanism and has a hollow formed therein which receives at least a portion of the valve mechanism depending upon the relative axial position of the power piston and the valve mechanism. The valve mechanism is located in one of the two pressure chambers located on the opposite sides of the power piston.

Abstract: A mechanical drive transmission, especially for rack and pinion vehicle steering gear, having the drive transmitting components supported in a non-metallic molded housing which is rigid enough to maintain good bearing support of the components, resilient enough to provide good shock absorbing characteristics, and strong enough to withstand the same magnitude of shocks and loads as heretofore used metallic housings. The non-metallic housings of this invention are preferably formed by injection molding to accurate dimensions and need not be machined or threaded to properly support the drive transmitting components. Preferred materials for the housing are nylons, acrylonitrile-butadienestyrenes, polyacetals, and polypropylenes which may be reinforced with glass fibers.
