A bearing has a composite elastic member, which supports a shaft. The composite elastic member comprises an elastic cylinder, which is made of an elastic material such as rubber and is provided at a bearing body section; and a spiral member, which projects from the circumferential surface of the elastic cylinder and is spirally assembled on the elastic cylinder. A lubricant is supplied to a spiral gap, which is divisionally formed between threads of the wire material forming the spiral member. W...

A bearing for a part of a seat, such as, a pivotal armrest or a folding backrest. The bearing comprises a bearing arm which is connected to a fixed bearing block in an articulated manner. A locking element should be assigned to the bearing arm. The locking element proceeds to a stop when the bearing arm is quickly rotated around a joint but releases the bearing arm when the same is slowly rotated.

A bearing comprising an inner support ring and an outer support ring surrounding and radially displaced from the inner support ring is disclosed. The support rings are supported on each other in a radially elastic manner by an intermediate ring made of at least three web elements made of rubber-elastic material, which are uniformly distributed over the circumference of the rings and which are fastened along holding surfaces to the support rings. The holding surface on the side facing the inner s...

The invention concerns a bearing comprising concentric, annular, inner and outer races between which there is concentrically disposed an annular cage having pockets within which are retained rolling elements which are in rolling engagement with the inner and outer races, the radially inner surface of the cage being provided both with at least one journal portion which engages the inner race and with lubricant reservoir means which communicate with the said pockets for the supply of lubricant the...

Described is a bearing including an annular inner raceway formed directly on the outer periphery of a rotary shaft, a plurality of bearing balls held between the inner raceway and an outer raceway formed on the outer periphery of an outer ring, a retainer for retaining the balls in position and a tubular housing securely fitted to the outer ring. The bearing may be designed as the double row type by providing a pair of outer rings each having an inner raceway and a pair of outer raceways formed ...

A bearing, having an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling members, inner seal members, outer seal members, a first grease having good heat resistance which is contained inward of the inner seal member, and a second grease having water-resistance and corrosion-prevention which is contained between the inner seal member and the outer seal member. The second grease prevents rusting in the outer and inner rings even if water enters the inner side of the outer seal member. The first grease assures sati...

A needle roller bearing is arranged with a reduced friction between a retainer and the remainder of the bearing construction. The retainer is formed of a ring-shaped connecting member and a plurality of roller supporters which are formed integrally with the connecting member therewithin at longitudinally middle points thereof. The roller supporters are disposed with equal distances therebetween to provide spaces for rotatably supporting needle rollers. The retainer is supported at the ring-shape...

A bearing comprising inner and outer rings formed of a metal and a plurality of balls formed of calcined carbon which has self-lubricating properties and hardness higher than that of the inner and outer rings and has been baked beforehand at a temperature higher than a working temperature of the bearing so as to prevent the outgassing even when used in the circumstances of high temperature.

A roller bearing is provided with a plain bearing portion which rubs against a bearing support surface to provide bearing positioning thrust and location.

In a spiral groove bearing a gap between a surface portion which has grooves thereon and its opposing surface portion is smaller than the gap between any other surface portion which does not have grooves thereon and its opposing surface portion. A lubricant is disposed in the narrower gap. An oil repellent layer is applied to either the surface portion having grooves thereon or its opposing surface in the vicinity of the narrower gap.
