There is provided a slide bearing capable of preventing or reducing a temperature increase in lubricant. A cylindrical main bearing is formed by combining a pair of upper bearing and lower bearing and rotatably supports a crank journal. The lower bearing includes a downstream crush relief formed at a downstream end in the rotation direction of the crank journal in an inner periphery of the lower bearing; and an oil groove formed in the inner periphery of the lower bearing so as to communicate with the downstream crush relief.

Slide bearing and lubricant feed mechanism having the same

There is provided an oil feed member capable of preventing lubricant from being excessively fed from an oil feed member to lubrication portions of valve gears, and a lubricant feed mechanism for an engine provided with the same. An oil feed member for feeding lubricant to lubrication portions of valve gears for opening and closing intake valves and exhaust valves of an engine, the oil feed member including: an upper panel member and a lower panel member laid over each other; and an oil feed passage formed by recessing laid surfaces of the upper panel member and the lower panel member, wherein the oil feed passage includes basis oil passages formed on a downstream side, and an introduction oil passage formed on an upstream side and having a smaller lubricant flow area than that of the basis oil passages.

Oil feed member and lubricant feed mechanism for engine provided with same

To provide a bearing member for a valve gear capable of reducing friction. A bearing member () for a valve gear () includes a cam shaft (). The cam shaft () has: a cam () for opening/closing at least one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve; and a plurality of journal parts (). The bearing member () includes: a cam cap () supporting the journal part () from above, surrounding it; a bearing base part () supporting the journal part () from below; and a stepped part () provided on an inner peripheral surface of the cam cap () facing the journal part (), overhanging on an inner peripheral side of the inner peripheral surface. An upstream-side end portion () of the stepped part () is positioned more on a downstream side than an upstream-side abutting surface () of the cam cap (), whereas a downstream-side end portion () of the stepped part () is positioned more on an upstream side than a downstream-side abutting surface () of the cam cap ().
