Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wheel hub assembly for mounting on an upright of a vehicle has a flanged outer ring provided with a tubular mounting portion inserted over a first axial length (L 1 ) inside a seat of the upright; and a plastic cover having a mounting portion which is also engaged inside the tubular portion, wherein the mounting portion extends outside the tubular portion over a second axial length (L 2 ) which, together with the first axial length (L 1 ), covers less than a mounting length (L) inside the seat.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A wheel hub assembly cover formed of plastic comprising: a cylindrical mounting portion comprising: a continuous radially extending cover end; an outer cylindrical edge extending axially from a circumferential end of the radially extending cover end and configured to define an radial gap between a seat of an upright and the outer cylindrical edge; and an engaging edge extending axially from an axial end of the outer cylindrical edge in a direction away from the radially extending cover end, wherein the engaging edge extends axially further than the outer cylindrical edge, and an axial shoulder of the engaging edge is lined with a sealing material and axially abuts against an axially facing front annular surface of a tubular mounting portion of a wheel hub assembly. 2. A wheel hub assembly for mounting on an upright of a vehicle, comprising: a flanged outer ring provided with a tubular mounting portion inserted over a first axial length (L 1 ) inside a seat of the upright, wherein the first axial length (L 1 ) is less than a mounting length (L) of the upright; and a plastic cover on one side of the flanged outer ring, the plastic cover comprising: a cylindrical mounting portion having a continuous radially extending cover end; an outer cylindrical edge extending axially from a circumferential end of the radially extending cover end and defining an radial gap between the seat of the upright and the outer cylindrical edge; and an engaging edge extending axially from an axial end of the outer cylindrical edge in a direction away from the radially extending cover end, wherein the engaging edge extends axially further than the outer cylindrical edge, and the engaging edge an axial shoulder lined with a sealing material and axially abutting against the tubular mounting portion. 3. The wheel hub assembly of claim 2 , wherein the outer cylindrical edge comprises a radial length greater than a radial length of the engaging edge. 4. The wheel hub assembly of claim 3 , wherein the engaging edge is configured to be engaged over a third axial length (L 3 ) inside the tubular mounting portion.
