ABSTRACT:
An adjustable mounting for a shaft on a thin metal support plate wherein a cylindrical lounting flange is punched out of the plate to form an opening, and a bearing is rotatably mounted within the opening. The bearing has a radial flange engaging the external side of the plate and has a threaded inner end extending beyond the inner end of the plate flange. A nut is threaded on the threaded end and has a bore telescoped over the plate flange. The inner end of the nut has an edge which is tightened against the internal side of the plate. The plate flange, the nut and the radial bearing flange rigidify the contiguous area of the plate to minimize deflection. A flat adjusting member lays against the outer side of the support plate and has a rectangular aperture with parallel side edges which mate with chordal edges on the radial flange of the bearing. Rotation of the adjusting member causes the bearing to rotate. The adjusting plate has a slot extending normal to the side edges and a screw extending therethrough, which prevents the plate from naturally moving in an arc and thus causes it to slide relative to the bearing.
