Abstract
A bearing cage and roller assembly includes at least one pair of axially oppositely facing short resilient projections extending from the rims into each roller pocket. The rims and projections are sufficiently resilient to permit the placement of rollers having openings in their axial ends into the pockets by inserting one end of the roller in the pocket with the projection extending from one rim of the cage into the opening at that end of the roller and then snapping the other end of the roller over the projection extending from the other end rim. If desired, a plurality of pairs of oppositely facing projections may be provided in each pocket with a roller for each pair of projections. In making the cage for the bearing cage and roller assembly, the projections are made at approximately the same time as the pockets are made, for example, in a solid strip of metal and before the rollers are inserted into the pockets.
