Abstract
A spherical bearing is yieldably held firmly on a rigid annular seat by a high-rate leaf spring having a flanged central opening forming a second annular seat engaging another portion of the bearing. The leaf spring includes portions extending oppositely from the central opening, which portions are stressed and underlie diametrically opposed retaining lugs. The leaf spring is assembled by flexing the extending portions and rotation into position under the lugs.
