Abstract

A motion nut for a lifting device, especially a car jack, in which a basic body has an internal thread and a threaded spindle is seated in the internal thread. The basic body together with the internal thread is a single unit component formed of at least two separate material components of different materials. The two separate material components form an internal thread region part and an external part, so that properties of the internal thread region is selectable different from properties of the external part. The properties of the thread being selectable for reduced friction and the properties of the external part being selectable for increased strength and stiffness.

Claims (20)

1. A motion nut for a lifting device, especially a car jack, comprising: a basic body having an internal thread; a threaded spindle seated in said internal thread; said basic body together with said internal thread being a single unit component formed of at least two separate material components of different materials comprising an internal thread region component part and an external part, so that properties of said internal thread region being selectable different from properties of said external part, said properties of said thread being selectable for reduced friction and said properties of said external part being selectable for increased strength and stiffness.

2. The motion nut as defined in wherein claim 1 , wherein said internal thread region is sleeve-shaped and formed of filled plastic.

3. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , wherein said internal thread region is sleeve-shaped and formed of a bronze alloy.

4. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , wherein said internal thread region is sleeve-shaped and formed of nylon material with a specific carbon fiber content.

5. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , wherein said external part surrounds said internal thread region for forming said basic body, said external part comprising a high strength material.

6. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , wherein said external part of said basic body surrounds said internal thread region and comprises nylon material with a specific glass fiber content.

7. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , wherein said internal thread region and said external part are of injection-molded plastic, said internal thread region being sleeve-shaped and surrounded by said external part.

8. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , including means for preventing rotation between said internal thread region and said external part.

9. The motion nut as defined in claim 8 , wherein said means for preventing rotation between said internal thread region and said external part comprising rib-shaped projections in a longitudinal direction of said internal thread region.

10. The motion nut as defined in claim 9 , wherein said rib-shaped projections are in rounded or angular form.

11. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , wherein said internal thread region is formed of plastic containing lubricants.

12. The motion nut as defined in claim 1 , wherein PTFE is included as a lubricant.

13. A lifting device, especially a mechanical car jack, comprising: at least one stand member and at least one lifting member; a basic body formed by a motion nut and a counter bearing and connecting said stand member with said lifting member; a threaded spindle received by said basic body; said motion nut having at least two separate material components of different materials and comprising an internal threaded region and an external part, so that properties of said internal thread region being selectable different from properties of said external part, said properties of said thread being selectable for reduced friction and said properties of said external part being selectable for increased strength and stiffness.

14. The lifting device as defined in claim 13 , wherein said internal thread region is formed of plastic with a specific carbon fiber content and is surrounded by said external part formed of plastic with a specific glass fiber content.

15. The lifting device as defined in claim 13 , wherein said internal thread region comprises nylon with a specific carbon fiber content and said external part comprises nylon with a specific glass fiber content, said motion nut being formed by said internal thread region and said external part.

16. The lifting device as defined in claim 13 , including means for preventing rotation between said internal thread region and said external part and comprising rib-shaped projections.

17. The lifting device as defined in claim 13 , wherein said motion nut comprises an injection-molded part.

18. The lifting device as defined in claim 13 , wherein said internal thread region is formed of plastic containing lubricants.

19. The lifting device as defined in claim 18 , wherein PTFE is included as a lubricant.

20. A motion nut for a lifting device, especially a car jack, comprising: a basic body having an internal thread; a threaded spindle seated in said internal thread; said basic body together with said internal thread being a single unit component formed of at least two separate material components of different materials comprising an internal thread region component part and an external part, so that properties of said internal thread region being selectable different from properties of said external part, said properties of said thread being selectable for reduced friction and said properties of said external part being selectable for increased strength and stiffness; said external part surrounding said internal thread region and being comprised of injection molded plastic; means for preventing rotation between said internal thread region and said external part and being formed of rib-shaped projections in a longitudinal direction of said internal thread region, said rib-shaped projections being rounded or angular-shaped.
