Abstract
Abstract A roller bearing assembly including a surface of a shaft serving as an inner race for rolling bodies, the surface having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a gear formed integrally with the shaft, a cylindrical outer race of a larger inner diameter than the outer diameter of the gear, and a cage for the rolling bodies composed of two halves formed by splitting the cage radially of the shaft, whereby the gear of a small outer diameter can be formed integrally with the shaft of a large diameter to thereby increase the rigidity of the shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A roller bearing assembly comprising: a surface of a shaft serving as an inner race for rolling bodies, said surface having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a gear formed integrally with the shaft; a cylindrical outer race for the rolling bodies of a larger inner diameter than the outer diameter of the gear; and a cage for the rolling bodies composed of two halves formed by splitting the cage radially of the shaft, said outer race having an interior shoulder adjacent one side of said bearing assembly and said shaft being enlarged to define a shoulder facing said race shoulder adjacent the other side of said assembly, whereby to confine said rolling bodies between said shoulders.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A roller bearing assembly comprising: a surface of a shaft serving as an inner race for rolling bodies, said surface having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a gear formed integrally with the shaft; a cylindrical outer race for the rolling bodies of a larger inner diameter than the outer diameter of the gear; and a cage for the rolling bodies composed of two halves formed by splitting the cage radially of the shaft, said outer race having an interior shoulder adjacent one side of said bearing assembly and said shaft being enlarged to define a shoulder facing said race shoulder adjacent the other side of said assembly, whereby to confine said rolling bodies between said shoulders.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A roller bearing assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein said gear is a countershaft reverse gear of a transmission.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A roller bearing assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shaft is parallel to an output shaft of a transmission, and an intermediate plate is formed with an opening for mounting said outer race below an output shaft center bearing of said output shaft.
