The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An integrated modular end cover (100) for transfer case of four-wheel drive vehicle is disclosed. The transfer case includes a housing and at least three coaxially arranged shafts supported on tapered roller bearing sets. The end cover (100) comprises a body having an inner face configured to mate with the transfer case housing and a plurality of concentric axial contact faces (102) formed on the inner face, each corresponding to an outer race of a respective tapered roller bearing set. The concentric axial contact faces (102) are machined to predetermined depths in a single machining operation such that, upon fastening the end cover (100) to the housing, the faces simultaneously axially lock the shafts and generate controlled bearing preload. At least one shim interface (104) is provided between the end cover (100) and housing for fine preload adjustment, enabling multi-shaft locking and preload generation through a single structural component."
