Claim 15:
16. A plain bearing, comprising:
a first bearing element which has a contact face and a longitudinal axis;
a second bearing element which has a contact face, wherein
the two bearing elements are configured to rotate relative to one another and between the contact faces thereof to form a plain bearing gap; and
the first bearing element, on the contact face thereof, includes a feed pocket which is configured to receive oil and during operation, deliver oil in a circumferential direction to the plain bearing by way of a delivery edge,
wherein the feed pocket is configured in the contact face of the first bearing element such that the delivery edge has a profile that deviates from a straight profile parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first bearing element;
wherein the feed pocket is configured in the contact face of the plain bearing pin such that the delivery edge runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the plain bearing pin;
wherein the delivery edge runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the plain bearing pin such that the delivery edge in the presence of a relative torque, which in an observed operating state acts on opposing support positions for the first bearing element, runs at least approximately parallel to a rotation axis of the second bearing element.
