A locking mechanism for connecting machine parts such as bearing rings on a support. The support includes at least one radially elastic element having a seating surface for the ring which is deflectable radially inwardly to permit assembly of the ring on the support surface and at least one locking element formed integrally with the support and acuatable between a release position wherein the snapping element can be flexed to facilitate assembly and removal of a ring on the seating surface and a locked position wherein the ring is supported in a form locking manner in the seating surface.

Locking mechanism

A rolling bearing assembly has inner and outer members, rotatable with respect to one another, and defining a pair of races therebetween. Each of these members has a flange-shaped portion for mounting the respective member. A separate row of rolling bearings is provided in each of the races. The outer member is formed with separable ring-shaped portions defining the running surfaces of the two races, the separable portions forming an inwardly directed annular ridge under ajoining faces, so that the rolling elements abut the sides of the ridge. One of the rows of rolling bearings has twice as many rolling elements as the other row.

Each of these members has a flange-shaped portion for mounting the respective member. A separate row of rolling bearings is provided in each of the races. The outer member is formed with separable ring-shaped portions defining the running surfaces of the two races, the separable portions forming an inwardly directed annular ridge under adjoining faces, so that the rolling elements abut the sides of the ridge. One of the rows of rolling bearings may have a substantially larger number of rolling elements than the other row.
