Abstract:
An automotive power seat drive shaft housing assembly includes an outer housing member having a central bore for receiving a press fitted connector member, the opposite ends of the connector member extending beyond the opposite ends of the outer housing member. The connector member is adapted to be fitted into hubs of a drive motor and gear housing, respectively. A flexible tubular bearing member is disposed in a bore of the elongated connector member and journals a drive shaft. The outer housing has surface interruptions in the way of splines or projections or a non-circular or polygonal cross section to indicate that the drive shaft housing assembly is not a manual actuating lever for a manual seat adjustment mechanism. The housing members and bearing member are preferably formed of extruded PVC.
