  • Device for securing and lubricating bushings
    Patent number: 8042654
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for securing and lubricating a bushing.

The first engaging portion mounts a bushing covering at least a portion of an opening of the channel on the lateral outer surface and engages with the second engaging portion, thereby sandwiching the bushing between the first member and the second member.
