Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an improvement in a pedestal bearing having spiral-shaped oil grooves in the bearing gliding surface, the improvement comprising a continuous annular groove in the bearing gliding surface, said groove being in the area near the center of rotation of the bearing end and concentric thereto, and all of said spiral-shaped oil grooves terminating in said annular groove.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
In an axial friction bearing comprising a stationary ball socket and a spherical bearing part provided on the surface thereof with spiral grooves, said spiral grooves terminating in the feed direction in a recess concentric to the pole of the sphere, the improvement comprising that said recess is a continuous annular groove in proximity to said pole, and that a smooth sphere portion is between said groove and said pole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
