Abstract
A bearing holder for bearings mounted on journals includes a lower support socket secured to a frame, and a cover part pivotally connected with the socket. The cover part is able to be locked in a shut position, folded onto the bearing positioned in the support socket. In order to provide a bearing holder of this type, which makes possible the removal and insertion of the journals without releasing the cover parts by hand, and without having to be pivoted and locked for the purpose of opening and shutting, cover parts are pivotally bearinged on two upper lateral parts of the support socket about axes which are parallel to the journal. Such cover parts include an upper, longer arm and a lower, shorter arm of a two-armed lever. The lower arm forms an actuating part, which, in the folded back, opened position of the cover part, extends into the interior of the support socket, so that by lowering the bearing, which abuts against the same and is placed on the journals, into the support socket, the bearing pivots the cover parts into its shut position, in which the latter has its inner, arcuate sides in snug engagement with the bearing. Thus, the cover parts which, in this manner, are folded into their shut setting, and have their end faces abutting against each other, are provided with an automatic device locking the cover parts together.
