Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tolerance ring can include a generally cylindrical body that can include a side wall. The sidewall can define a top and a bottom. Further, the sidewall can include a plurality of wave structures that can extend from the sidewall, a plurality of unformed sections, and a gap that can extend along the entire length of the body. Each unformed section can be located between a pair of adjacent wave structures. Further, the gap can establish a split in the body. The tolerance ring can also include at least one hole intersecting at least one of the wave structures to establish a perforated wave structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tolerance ring, comprising: a generally cylindrical body having a side wall that defines a top, and a bottom, wherein the side wall includes: a plurality of wave structures, each wave structure defining an outer perimeter; a plurality of unformed sections, wherein each unformed section is located between a pair of adjacent wave structures, and wherein the plurality of wave structures extend from the unformed sections such that at least half of the perim…
