Patent number: 10465745Abstract: A thrust roller bearing cage having pockets for accommodating rollers includes an inner annular portion and cage bars that extend in a radial manner from a radially outer edge of the inner annular portion so as to separate the pockets from each other in a circumferential direction. The inner annular portion has a first axial end surface and a second axial end surface. The first axial end surface has an oil passage groove for guiding lubricating oil to the pockets. The second axial end surface is recessed relative to the first axial end surface in an axial direction of the inner annular portion so as to form a recessed portion that communicates with the oil passage groove. The entire region of the first axial end surface that is located radially directly inside the cage bars is located radially outside the second axial end surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventor: Yoshihito Nakashima

Patent number: 9151328Abstract: The conical roller bearing includes an inner ring which includes an annular groove between an inner-ring-side raceway surface and a small-diameter-side end portion thereof, and a cage which includes an erected portion extending from a first annular portion of the cage towards the annular groove. The erected portion includes a first inclined portion and a second inclined portion. The first inclined portion is inclined towards conical rollers disposed in pockets of the cage while extending from the first annular portion towards the annular groove. The second inclined portion is inclined towards the small-diameter-side end portion while extending from the first inclined portion towards the annular groove. The second inclined portion is configured to be brought into engagement with the annular groove in an axial direction of the inner ring.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Ryosuke Chudo, Motoshi Kawamura, Yoshihito Nakashima
