Coupling rod

Abstract

A coupling rod ( 1 ) having a first end piece ( 2 ); a second end piece ( 3 ); and an intermediate piece ( 4 ) which connects the first end piece ( 2 ) and the second end piece ( 3 ). The intermediate piece ( 4 ) is formed as a connecting rod and the first end piece ( 2 ) and the second end piece ( 3 ) have in each case one sleeve ( 5 and 6 respectively), which sleeves are pushed onto the connecting rod ( 4 ) and are fixed in an adjustable final assembly position on the connecting rod ( 4 ).

1 . A coupling rod ( 1 ) having
 a first end piece ( 2 );   a second end piece ( 3 ); and   an intermediate piece ( 4 ) which connects the first end piece ( 2 ) and the second end piece ( 3 ),   
       wherein
 the intermediate piece ( 4 ) is formed as a connecting rod; and 
 the first end piece ( 2 ) and the second end piece ( 3 ) have in each case one sleeve ( 5  and  6  respectively), which sleeves are pushed onto the connecting rod ( 4 ) and are fixed in an adjustable final assembly position on the connecting rod ( 4 ). 
 
     
     
         2 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the fixing is realized by means of a cohesive connection. 
     
     
         3 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sleeves ( 5 ,  6 ) have in each case one welding window ( 7  and  8  respectively). 
     
     
         4 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sleeves ( 5 ,  6 ) are in each case assembled from two sheet-metal halves ( 9 ,  10  and  11 ,  12  respectively). 
     
     
         5 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sleeves ( 5 ,  6 ) are provided with in each case one compensating ball joint ( 13  and  14  respectively). 
     
     
         6 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the compensating ball joints ( 13 ,  14 ) are arranged in, in each case one receiving recess ( 15  and  16  respectively) of an associated holding plate ( 17  and  18  respectively). 
     
     
         7 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the holding plates ( 17 ,  18 ) are in each case inserted into and fixed in an associated insertion slot ( 19  and  20  respectively) of the associated sleeves ( 5  and  6  respectively). 
     
     
         8 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the fixing is realized by means of a welded connection. 
     
     
         9 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting rod ( 4 ) is of straight form. 
     
     
         10 . The coupling rod as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting rod ( 4 ′) is of cranked form.
