Abstract
A plate or the like for receiving a press-fitted sleeve-like member, such as a ball bearing or the like, is formed with an opening defined by a series of arcuately spaced, axially extending lands alternating with a series of axially extending relieved portions between the lands. The lands define segments of a circle which form a close or an interference fit with the outside surface of the sleeve-like member while the relieved portions define spaces for the flow or movement of excess material during the press fitting of the member into the plate, thereby avoiding exceeding the maximum allowable pressing forces, to reduce the likelihood of distortion of the member. The relieved portions also provide spaces for bonding cement or for lubrication, if desired.
