ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an improved bearing construction of the ball bearing type which is particularly suitable for supporting drawer slides and the like for translatory movement. The bearing comprises a tire defining an outer bearing race, a stud defining an inner bearing race, a plurality of balls captured between the races, the device being characterized by the stud including an axially directed annular retainer surface, portions of which are deflected radially, which deflected portions provide a temporary connection precluding separation of the bearing elements. The annular surface, after deflection, defines a stop or locator surface against which a support bracket is biased in the final assembled position thereof, the corrugated or crown-like end surface formed as a result of deflection, providing a high frictional surface whereby augmented connection between the bearing and the support bracket is assured.
