BEARING FOR A RACK-AND-PINION STEERING

摘要

1. Bearing intended to be mounted inside a casing (2) on a shaft (3) slidable inside this casing, and formed of two identical annular half rings (4, 4'), characterized in that each half ring is formed by a central body (5) on the circumference of which evenly spaced apart lugs (8) are moulded extending beyond one end of the central body by a value greater than half their length and intended to fit between the lugs of the other half ring so as to form the bearing surface zone (9) inside the casing (2) when the two half rings are assembled together, in that on the free end of each lug (8) a shoulder (12) is formed turned outwardly of the half ring and intended to cooperate with one of the orthogonal faces (13 or 13') defining the bearing surface (9) of the bearing in the casing (2) thus providing clip-fitting of the bearing inside the casing and in that means for clipping one half ring to the other are provided on one side of the free end of each lug (8).
