Abstract
The annular cushion,interposed between the fixed housing,and a swiveling exterior surface,in the shape of a spherical sector with relatively large radius of curvature of the bearing block,is in a relatively rigid and incompressible material, with low coefficient of friction surface, and has a transverse section wholly adapted to the section of the annular space arranged between the inner surface of the fixed housing,and the swiveling exterior surface of the bearing block,this annular cushion consisting of two rings,spaced apart and arranged on each side of the transverse median plane of the swiveling exterior surface. The fixed housing also comprises adjustment means,of the axial engagement amplitude of the cover,on the body,of said fixed housing, and tightening adjustment means of the fixing screws, enabling in this way the radial compression of said relatively rigid annular cushion,to be adjusted on said swiveling exterior surface of the bearing block
