ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a unitary bushing and retainer assembly for pivotally connecting a first work piece having a shank portion, such as a connecting rod, with a second work piece having an aperture, such as a lever. The bearing and retainer assembly includes a sleeve portion which fits snugly inside the lever aperture and has a bore for pivotally receiving the shank portion of the connecting rod. After the connection has been completed, withdrawal of the connecting rod from the sleeve portion is prevented by an annular rib which is located on the sleeve portion bore and is received in an annular recess provided in the shank portion of the connecting rod. A pair of opposed arms extending radially from one end of the sleeve portion and having locking elements which snap over the opposite edges of the lever secure the bearing and retainer assembly and the connecting rod on the lever.
