The cage includes: a small diameter annular portion; a large diameter annular portion; and a plurality of cage bars connecting the small and large diameter annular portions. An outer clearance is defined between the outer ring and the cage and between circumferentially adjacent ones of the tapered rollers. The outer clearance has a cross-sectional area increasing from the second side to the first side.
