Abstract
A motor bearing system is provided in which a motor shaft is received by a bearing which is circumferentially engaged by a first lubricating felt washer. A second lubricating felt washer is received by a retaining cup opposite the first lubricating felt washer, with a motor bracket interposed therebetween. The second lubricating felt washer is forced into contacting engagement with the first such washer by means of pins extending from the retaining cup and passing through apertures within the end bracket. Accordingly, the effective lubricating reservoir is significantly increased and the integrity of the lubricating reservoir is maintained.
