Abstract:
A tone ring for a heavy-duty vehicle anti-lock braking system (ABS) that includes a filler disposed within spaces or notches between teeth formed in the tone ring. The filler is formed of a material that does not interfere with the ability of an ABS sensor to sense the teeth. In one embodiment, the filler includes a plurality of protrusions disposed within the spaces formed between the teeth. The plurality of protrusions are integrally formed with a base that extends circumferentially around the side of the tone ring opposite the ABS sensor. In another embodiment, the filler includes a plurality of fillings disposed within notches formed between the teeth. The filler prevents road debris and/or contaminants from damaging the tone ring teeth and damaging and/or misaligning the ABS sensor. A thin coating can extend over the tone ring teeth and the plurality of protrusions or fillings to encapsulate the teeth.

Claim (Index 1):
A tone ring of an anti-lock braking system for vehicles comprising:\n a body, said body including a plurality of divisions formed of a material capable of being sensed by a sensor of said anti-lock braking system; and a filler, said filler being disposed at least between adjacent ones of said divisions and being formed of material that does not interfere with the ability of said sensor to sense the divisions, whereby said filler provides protection to said divisions and the sensor.
