Abstract
A bearing device includes a support having a bearing hole, a shaft member slidably inserted into the bearing hole thereby to be rotatably supported by the support, the shaft member having an axial end surface and a locking part located on the axial end surface of the shaft member to protrude in an axial direction of the shaft member from an outer periphery of the axial end surface of the shaft member. The locking part is deformed by force applied to its axial protruding end so as to bulge outward in a radial direction intersecting the axial direction, so that the bulging part is capable of being locked to a peripheral part of the bearing hole on an outer surface of the support.
