Abstract
Abstract According to the invention, an inexpensive antifriction bearing is located in a plastic block and the plastic block is encircled by a further plastic ring. The softening point of the plastic ring is lower by 20° C. than that of the material of the bearing block and between the softening point and melting point of the ring a difference of at least 30° C. exists ensuring that in case of excessive warming up of the bearing, the sliding on each other of the plastic block and of the outer plastic ring as plain bearing, puts the bearing out of action for a certain time. The contact surfaces of the bearing block and the ring are spherical, ensuring the compensation of possible eccentricity by self-aligning. The ring is fixed in the seat of a roller by flanging. The invention renders superfluous the otherwise indispensable high-precision single-purpose machine or horizontal lathe for boring the roller, and makes possible the application of the technology of mass production.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
Antifriction bearing device, comprising a bearing block (5) comprised of synthetic resin, an outer surface of said bearing block being a spherical surface, an outer bearing ring (4) for filling out space between the bearing block (5) and an object (2) to be supported by the bearing, said outer bearing ring comprising a synthetic resin having a softening point lower by at least 20° C. than the material of the bearing block (5) and there being between the softening point and melting point of said outer bearing ring a difference of at least 30° C., the surface of said outer bearing ring contacting the bearing block (5) being a negative spherical surface, the antifriction bearing (3) defining a plane defined by contact of its rolling bodies on its races, the bearing block (5) and outer bearing ring (4) being split along said plane and thrust rings (6) for fixing the outer bearing rings (4) in a seat of an object to be supported.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
163 words
Antifriction bearing device, comprising a bearing block (5) comprised of synthetic resin, an outer surface of said bearing block being a spherical surface, an outer bearing ring (4) for filling out space between the bearing block (5) and an object (2) to be supported by the bearing, said outer bearing ring comprising a synthetic resin having a softening point lower by at least 20° C. than the material of the bearing block (5) and there being between the softening point and melting point of said outer bearing ring a difference of at least 30° C., the surface of said outer bearing ring contacting the bearing block (5) being a negative spherical surface, the antifriction bearing (3) defining a plane defined by contact of its rolling bodies on its races, the bearing block (5) and outer bearing ring (4) being split along said plane and thrust rings (6) for fixing the outer bearing rings (4) in a seat of an object to be supported.
