Abstract: A circumferential groove is provided in the inner periphery of a bearing housing so as to be opposed to a circumferential groove provided in the outer periphery off the raceway of an outer race.The elastic tie bar is fixed in the circumferential grooves opposed to each other, astriding both, and the bearing is mounted in the housing, its position fixed thereby.An opening is provided in part of the circumferential groove in the outer race to communicate with the bearing interior, and through this opening an end of the tie bar is revealed in the bearing interior.

Abstract: An improved bearing cage for application in angular contact thrust bearings of the type having inner and outer bearing races, ball bearings and a bearing cage. In the assembled bearing the improved bearing cage serves to maintain the ball bearings and the inner and outer bearing races in their functional positions and the complete bearing as a unitized assembly prior to its incorporation into some other assembly. The improved bearing cage can be fabricated through injection molding techniques in a straight in-and-out core pin type mold.

Abstract: A device for preventing creep of the outer ring of an antifriction bearing relative to the housing supporting the outer ring. The bearing outer ring has a circumferential groove formed in its outer periphery eccentrically thereof and having fitted therein a bandlike resilient ring which has a curved protruding portion larger than the depth of the groove. In the vicinity of the protruding portion, the resilient ring has its opposite end portions lapped over each other within the groove. When the outer ring acts to creep within the housing, the shallow groove portion of the groove approaches the protruding portion and lapped end portions of the ring, causing the end portions to act as a wedge between the housing and the outer ring to stop the creep.
