ABSTRACT:
An angle gear for a vehicle steering mechanism includes two bevel gears which can be axially displaced in a housing in order to adjust the rotation backlash of the gear. The axes of the bevel gears form an angle relative to each other and are connected, respectively, to a shaft leading to the steering shaft and a shaft leading to the steering mechanism on the vehicle axle. Axial motion away from the intersection of the shaft axes, which would increase the backlash, is prevented by thrust bearings supported against the housing. Axial motion in the other direction is secured against by means of shackle with spherical cup bearing surfaces that bear against the end faces of the bevel gears, which shackle is adjustable to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the bevel gears.
