ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for adjusting the inclination of a longitudinal bearing, comprising a fixed structure having at least two spaced walls which form a groove therebetween; the groove provides access for a rotatable member which may be mated with the bearing. An aperture of a size to snuggly fit the bearing is provided in a first one of the walls; a slot having a size larger than the aperture is provided in the second of the two walls, the slot being opposite the aperture in first wall and extending in a certain direction. A flange extends away from the second wall in a direction perpendicular to the opening of the groove, with said flange having an opening which lies in the plane defined by the aperture in the first wall and the slot in the second plane defined by the aperture in the first wall and the slot in the second wall. An L-shaped member has a cylindrical bearing surface along a first leg (which constitutes the longitudinal bearing) and an irregular surface along the second leg. The first leg is adapted to engage the aperture and also to span the gap between the aperture and the slot, and the second leg is adapted to extend from the slot through the flange opening. A fastening means is provided for firmly securing the L-shaped member to the flange, including means for engaging the irregular surface on the second leg when said leg is inserted into the flange opening. When the irregular surface constitutes simply threads, the fastening means may be two nuts that are engaged with the threads on opposite sides of the flange. The inclination of the first leg with respect to the groove is adjustable in accordance with which portion of the second leg's irregular surface is utilized in securing the L-shaped member to the flange.
