Abstract
A member for axially retaining a rolling-contact bearing (6) relative to a mechanical element (13) radially adjacent to the rolling-contact bearing consists of an open metallic ring (21) which can be elastically deformed radially, produced from a thin sheet of metal, and including a substantially cylindrical part (22), at least one end of which is equipped with a radial rim intended to interact both with a circular groove (14) formed in a housing (12) of the mechanical element adjacent to the rolling-contact bearing and with the non-rotating race (11) of the rolling-contact bearing, so as to form an axial limit stop for the latter.
