ABSTRACT:
A rolling-element bearing assembly has a cover fitted to one of the races. The cover is in the form of a cap provided with lugs or projections which extend axially and radially outwards from the peripheral edge of the open end of the cap. The lugs of projections have lips which engage in a groove in the associated bearing race. The cap is resiliently deformable to an extent which permits the easy release of the lips from the groove by manual squeezing of the cap. Conversely, the cap can be urged manually against the associated bearing race to cause the lips of the lugs or projections to engage in the groove in a snap-fitting action.
