ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a slide bearing with two bearing shell halves which are held together during the installation by springy clamps. The clamps are formed from a band-shaped material piece having two bow-shaped legs bent over toward a side which are supported in inwardly inclined end areas at edges of the bearing shell halves. The seating of the clamp is thereby wobble-free, and more particularly both when the clamp is inserted with only one end into a mounting as also when both bearing shell halves are assembled which then are held together without play. The secure seating of the clamps is attained by multiple linearly- and areally-like supports of the clamps and by springy abutment at the inwardly bent end areas of the legs of the clamp, whereby axially acting forces result. In addition to the assembly, also the disassembly is very simple because the clamps are constructed so as to be adapted to be overcome by pressure in two directions, and therefore the springy ends of the clamps need not be pressed down. The bearing shell halves merely have to be pulled apart which can take place with a commercially customary tool.
