  • Shaft supporting bearing arrangement
    Patent number: 5725315
    Abstract: A supporting arrangement for a shaft has a bearing arrangement which facilitates self alignment at a first position of a clamping member and maintains the shaft at the self aligned position at a second position of the clamping member. An adjustment screw selectively moves the clamping member between the first and second positions relative to a spherical member supporting the shaft. The supporting arrangement is particularly suited for use in a throttle control linkage.
