11465571 · 2022-10-11 · ·

A steering apparatus of a vehicle includes: a dust pack housing coupled to a top portion of a dust cap, which is combined with a rack housing to surround a pinion shaft, the dust pack housing disposed between and supporting a dash panel of the vehicle and the dust cap; and a noise attenuation member disposed between the dust pack housing and the pinion shaft and having plate shape so that an inner side of the noise attenuation member is spaced apart from the pinion shaft and an outer side of the noise attenuation member is fitted to the dust pack housing to attenuate noise that is transmitted to the inside of the dust panel.

Methods and systems for cooling transmissions
11466768 · 2022-10-11 · ·

A transmission includes a housing, a plurality of components, and a cooling system. The housing has a plurality of walls that cooperate to define an interior space and a sump configured to store lubricating fluid in use of the transmission. The plurality of components are arranged in the interior space and configured to cooperatively transmit rotational power between an input shaft and an output shaft of the transmission to reduce a rotational speed of the output shaft relative to a rotational speed of the input shaft in use of the transmission. At least one of the plurality of components is supplied with lubricating fluid stored by the sump in use of the transmission. The cooling system is supported by the housing.
