A cylindrical wrapped bush has a joint extending over the entire width of the wrapped bush and serves to slidably or rotatably support a shaft on the inner peripheral surface of the wrapped bush. The joint is extended slantwise or stepwise relative to a generatrix on the outer peripheral surface of the wrapped bush at an angle which is more than 0 degree, but smaller than 85 degrees.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 715,480, filed 3/25/85, abandoned.

A bush is divided at a part of the circumference by a slit, so that at least two contacting portions provided on both end sides of the bush in the axial direction have elasticity in the radial direction, and are elastically brought into contact with the inner surface of a housing due to the elasticity. At least one elastic engagement portion between the at least two contacting portions has elasticity in the radial direction similar to the at least two contacting portions. The elastic engagement portion elastically engages with a rotary shaft which is inserted in the bush, thereby supporting the rotary shaft. Consequently, the rotary shaft rotates without vibration of the axis thereof.
A bearing, particularly a rubber bearing, has in its fundamental structure at least one bearing bushing and one rubber body surrounded by the bearing bushing. The bearing bushing has at least one longitudinal parting line having edge profiles that are complementary to one another, provided at adjacent longitudinal edges. The tines and tine recesses, respectively, engage into one another at the edge profiles which are complementary to one another. The tine along the one longitudinal edge, in each instance, dips into a related tine recess on the other longitudinal edge, essentially in the circumference direction of the bearing bushing in the course of production. During this process, the tine is plastically deformed by a predetermined measure, so that the tine and the related tine recess wedge into one another.
