Abstract
A self-aligning sleeve bearing assembly including a base member having a surface which includes a socket, a retaining member, and a bearing extending into and from the socket and being sandwiched between the base member and retaining member. The bearing includes two opposing halves which are mismatched along a parting line. The retaining member includes two pairs of independently yieldable opposed fingers which provide four independently operating spring retainers which bear against respective surfaces of the opposing bearing halves and operate together to retain the bearing in place yet allow self-alignment of the bearing.
