Abstract

589,417. Self-aligning bearings. THOMPSON PRODUCTS, Inc. March 22, 1945, No. 7269. Convention date, Oct. 25, 1944. [Class 12 (i)] In a self-aligning bearing comprising a ballended member 12, which rotatably supports the shaft 16, and is seated in a housing piece 11, being pressed to its seating by a spring 13, the spring 13 engages a part 12b of reduced diameter. Housing 11 has projecting ears 11a for mounting and member 12 has a liner 15. The spring 13 is held between a shoulder on the ball member and a washer 14, this washer being sealed in a counterbore 11e of the housing and having a larger internal diameter than that of the part 12b, so permitting the shaft and ball member to tilt. The unit is sealed by rubber dust caps 18 and 19 with inner concave faces which snugly embrace the housing, and are retained in position by a washer 17 and the top of the pitman arm 20a, of a steering rod. The member 12 or the liner 15 may be made of synthetic resin.
