  • Patent number: 6206575
    Abstract: The invention has plural plate-like members, each molded by a metal die using a synthetic resin material in a shape having pockets for retaining rolling elements. A shape obtained by mutually connecting each of the plural plate-like members with connecting portions at both ends is a substantially cylinder shape. A shape of a section between both end portions of each plate-like member has a convex warped shape constituting a part of the cylinder by being subjected to a distortion action owing to heat contraction after being molded by the metal die.

  • Patent number: 5948340
    Abstract: There is disclosed a die used to mold a cage having a cylindrical body out of a synthetic resin such that the strength of the portion of the molded cage formed by two meeting streams of the injected material is increased. The die comprises die members having parting surfaces in abutment with each other. A mold cavity conforming in shape with the cylindrical body of the cage is formed between the die members. When the die members, are in abutment with each other, a gate and a resin reservoir are formed along one parting surface and outside the mold cavity. The gate and resin reservoir are in communication with the cavity.

  • Patent number: 5539844
    Abstract: A ball bearing cage is formed with pockets each having an inwardly curved spherical pocket face similar to a ball in shape. At least one of the pockets has a protrusion projecting inwardly thereof from one of inner and outer circumferential edge portions of the pocket face. A ball bearing comprises balls retained between inner and outer bearing rings and equispaced circumferentially thereof by a cage. The cage is formed with pockets each having an inwardly curved spherical pocket face similar to the ball in shape, at least one of the pockets having a protrusion projecting inwardly thereof from an edge portion of the face close to the fixed one of the rings.
