FIG. 1 is a bottom view of a recirculating bearing.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the recirculating bearing of FIG. 1.

FIG. 3 is a rear view of the recirculating bearing of FIG. 1.

FIG. 4 is a right side view of the recirculating bearing of FIG. 1; and,

A left side view of the recirculating bearing of FIG. 8 is omitted as the shape and appearance of that view would be apparent from FIGS. 8-12. A top view of the recirculating bearing of FIG. 8 is omitted as no features of the claimed design are visible in that view.

In FIG. 5, broken lines showing an adjustment base and screw are illustrative of the environment of use and form no part of the claimed design. In FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, broken lines showing surface reliefs in the ramps are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. In FIG. 4, broken lines showing recirculating bearing elements are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. In FIGS. 1-5, broken lines showing a flame for a recirculating bearing and a second recirculating bearing element raceway are illustrative of an environment of use and form no part of the claimed design.
