Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device for mounting and/or dismounting bearings on a shaft of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally bearing housings generally have been divided into two halves, which are interconnected at mounting of shaft and bearing. This causes i.a. that positioning of seals and lubricant must take place in situ at the mounting, which from many aspects is not desirable. For this reason complete bearing units have been developed, wherein bearing, clamping sleeve, seals and lubricant can be introduced in the bearing housing already at the supplier's shop. The complete bearing unit then can be slid onto the intended shaft and the bearing is clamped to the shaft by tightening the clamping sleeve. Consequently this requires use of a clamping sleeve. This acts as known by wedge action between one or more taper surfaces at the clamping sleeve and the corresponding surfaces of the bearing. The wedge effect thus is created in that bearing and clamping sleeve are displaced in axial direction relative to each other. In applicant's EP-A-0 235 366 (Swedish Patent Application 8600310-0), which forms the starting point for the present invention, an embodiment of such a solution is shown. The axial movement between clamping sleeve and bearing in this case is created by means of flanges equipped with axially extending screws, which act against the inner race ring of the bearing or against an intermediate washer. A mounting flange then is used at the small end of the tapering clamping sleeve, and a dismounting flange is used at the big end thereof. In this case it is possible to use an undivided bearing housing, which is an advantage. When the bearing unit is mounted to the shaft, thus screws are tightened, which are parallel to the shaft and positoned at a somewhat bigger diameter than the outer diameter thereof. The same happens at release of the bearing unit from the shaft. This means that space is required on both sides of the bearing unit for manipulating tools for mounting and dismounting. In many cases this can mean problems, and particularly on one side of the bearing unit. Several members are often positioned on the shaft between a first and a second bearing housing, whereas on the other hand a smaller number of components generally are positioned on the other side of the bearing housing toward the free side of the shaft end. At the initial mounting these components are not positioned as it must be possible to mount the bearing unit. There are however cases when components are hampering also on this side. An example may be retightening of mounting screws. GB-A-2 163 523 describes a locking sleeve having an extended portion, which on a shaft is positioned against the side face of a bearing race ring. The locking sleeve is provided with grub screws, which can be screwed in at an angle towards the shaft on which the baring shall be fitted, or perpendicularly to the shaft when the screws are provided with tapering tips, and which screws with their ends can be screwed into a circumferential, angularly machined groove in the shaft. The tightening of the screws give an axial force displacing the bearing axially against a shoulder on the shaft, wheras at the same time the locking sleeve is locked to the shaft by the screws entering into the groove. This locking arrangement gives no loosening forces for releasing a wedge joint or a clamping sleeve, it is required a substantial space at least on one side of the bearing at the mounting and furthermore the deep groove machined in the shaft means a serious weakening of the shaft. PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the invention is to reduce the above-mentioned problems substantially by providing a device wherein primarily dismounting, but also mounting of a bearing unit can be accomplished without space being available at each side of the bearing unit. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The abovementioned purpose is achieved in that the device according to the invention has the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1. The device according to the invention thus is characterized mainly therein, that the sleeve-shaped member, which encloses the bearing, has threaded bores directed down towards the shaft. In these bores are screwed in wedge-pointed screws. These are so designed as to create a wedge action between bearing and clamping sleeve, thus that the bearing and the clamping sleeve are urged apart axially. Thereby these wedge-pointed screws can be used for mounting or for dismounting. The wedge-pointed screw has a conically tapering end, which is facing towards the shaft. In several embodiments the wedge action is created in that this part cooperates on one hand with the bearing and on the other hand with the clamping sleeve or a part connected thereto. In other embodiments the wedge action is effected in that the tapering portion cooperates with a tapering surface, which is connected either to the bearing or to the connecting sleeve and that a cylindrical part of the wedge-pointed screw following after the conically tapering part cooperates with a substantially planar surface connected to the bearing or to the clamping sleeve. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING Hereinafter the invention will be further described by embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which the same reference numerals in the different figures define parts corresponding to each other. In those cases where similar parts are used on both sides of the bearing they have on one side been designated with '-symbol, e.g. wedge-pointed screw 5'. Fig. 1 shows in cross-section a bearing unit according to the present invention. In order to create an increased clarity certain parts have been omitted in the lower part of the figure. Fig. 2 shows the bearing unit according to Fig. 1 in cross-section, but it has been equipped with another system for mounting on the shaft. Fig. 3 shows in cross-section an alternative solution, which is rather similar to that in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows a bearing unit, which is somewhat modified as compared to that of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 shows an alternate solution with other type of clamping sleeve. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS In Fig. 1, 1 designates a shaft and 2 a bearing fitted to the shaft 1 by means of a clamping sleeve 4. The bearing 2 in turn is fitted in a bearing housing 3. The fitting could also be made in a mounting sleeve, which is later on positioned in a housing part. The clamping sleeve 4 has a series of tapering part surfaces acting against associated tapering part surfaces in the inner race ring of the bearing. By this embodiment a thin tapering clamping sleeve can be used and the inner race ring of the bearing therefore will become thicker than it should have been if a conventional tapered clamping sleeve with one taper surface should have been used. The shown tapering clamping sleeve 4 is slotted over its entire length and it is therefore radially deformable to a maximum. At both ends it has circumferential recesses in which two flanges 6,8 fit. At mounting of the unit, gripping portions of each flange 6, 8 therefore may snap into the different recesses, when the clamping sleeve 4 is compressed. Flange 8 is a mounting flange, which is used for urging the bearing up on the tapering part surfaces. This is accomplished by tightening a number of screws 9 along the periphery of the mounting flange. They press against a washer 10, which in turn engages the inner race ring of the bearing 2. The washer 10 thus acts as a stop against the bearing and at tightening of the screws 9 the tapering clamping sleeve 4 will be urged in the left direction in the figure, as it is attached to the mounting flange 8. As the clamping sleeve is slotted in its entire length, it hereby will be compressed around the shaft, thus that it locks the inner race ring of the bearing to the shaft. The tapering "saw-tooth surfaces" of the clamping sleeve 4 have been produced by a rolling operation, which gives these tapering surfaces a much higher accuracy than what could have been achieved at a conventional clamping sleeve, which e.g. has been turned out. As the clamping sleeve 4 is slotted in its entire length there are seals 14, 15 preventing dirt from penetrating into the bearing. A flexible rubber ring 14 is positioned thus that it engages chamfers, which are made on the mounting flange 8 and the washer 10. The rubber ring 14 thus is lying between the washer 10 and the mounting flange 8 seen in axial direction. Due to the elasticity of the rubber ring it can absorb the changes in distance which occur between washer and mounting flange during mounting of the bearing. However the clamping sleeve 4 must not be slotted over its entire length. It could e.g. be uniform at one end. Then there could e.g. be screwed on a bearing mounting nut. When the bearing shall be loosened from the shaft, this is effected with aid of one or more wedge-pointed screws 5. The wedge-pointed screw 5 is screwed into a threaded bore in the bearing housing 3. The wedge-pointed screw itself has at its upper end 20 a threaded portion and an attachment 21, e.g. in the form of an inner hexagon grip, for tightening with a tool. The other end 18 of the wedge-pointed screw is conically tapering. There is usually a cylindrical portion without thread, which interconnects the two ends of the screw. In a typical embodiment the upper portion 20 has a M6 thread and the cylindric portion has an outer diameter of 4 mm. The transition section between the two diameters forms a smooth transitory portion having a radius of 1 mm. Due to this embodiment it is possible that the wedge-pointed screw 5 may flex during load. The wedge-pointed screw is screwed in at an inclination angle α in relation to a line laterally through the bearing housing 3. The bearing 2 thus lays in the plane of this line. In the example shown the angle α = 13°. The angle has been chosen primarily in order to avoid the wedge-pointed screw from coming in serious conflict with the adjacent locking ring 11 or an adjacent seal 17, resp. As the wedge-pointed screw 5 is screwed in its tapering point at one hand will engage the inner race ring of the bearing 2 and on the other hand a tapering loosening flange 6. The tapering point 18 of the wedge-pointed screw thus will pierce as a wedge between the inner race ring of the bearing and the tapering loosening flange 6, thus that they are forced apart. The number of wedge-pointed screws 5 can be varied. If a single wedge-pointed screw is used, this shall first be tightened in one position, whereupon it is loosened, the shaft is rotated and it is again tightened in another position. It is thereby possible to accomplish a correct pushing apart of bearing and clamping sleeve by aid of a single wedge-pointed screw. If two or more wedge-pointed screws are used, it is on the other hand possible to effect the loosening by tightening all screws gradually. For natural reason then, e.g. three, circumferentially evenly spaced screws are preferred. It is more difficult to make the distribution of screws in a bearing housing than in a round sleeve. In the embodiment shown the taper angle is adapted thus that the flank of the conical surface 18 of the wedge-pointed screw 5, which is closest to the bearing is parallel to the side of the bearing. This means that the total taper angle of the wedge-pointed screw is about twice α, i.e. here about 26°. Furthermore the conical surface of the tapering loosening flange 6, which is turned towards the bearing, is about parallel to its adjacent flank of the conical surface 18 of the wedge-pointed screw 5. This means that this surface in this case is inclined 26° relative to a line through the plane of extension of the tapering loosening flange 6. If the bearing is not tilted in the housing 3 this line is parallel to a line laterally through the bearing housing 3. However it is also possible to give the tapering surface of the loosening flange 6 a somewhat bigger angle than the 26°, which gives parallelity in this case. The contact between wedge-pointed screw 5 and loosening flange 6 thereby will occur at a smaller diameter, which could give a somewhat improved contact relation between wedge-pointed screw 5 and tapering loosening flange 6. As can be seen in Fig. 1 the wedge-pointed screw 5 will be in conflict with the locking ring 11 or the seal 17 resp. This is solved thus that the locking ring is positioned so that its opening is situated at the wedge-pointed screw, in those cases where one wedge-pointed screw is used. If several wedge-pointed screws are used the geometry must be such, that the thicker, threaded portion 20 of the wedge-pointed screw will not engage the locking ring 11 until at a late stage of its tightening motion. Thereby the locking ring 11 can not prevent the loosening of the bearing from the shaft. If certain damages on the other hand should appear on the locking ring, this is not important, as the bearing unit shall be dismounted anyhow, whereby replacement of the locking ring can take place. The seal 17 consists of an inner elastomer portion having one or more sealing lips. The elastomer portion is fitted to a sheet metal ring, which is pressed sealingly into the bearing housing 3. In the cylindrical portion of the sheet metal ring there are stamped out holes, through which the entire wedge-pointed screw can penetrate. It is thus normally possible also for the threaded portion 20 of the wedge-pointed screw to extend through the different holes. Between the bearing 2 and the tapering loosening flange 6 there is a sealing member 15, which is compressible, so that the bearing inner race ring can be displaced axially when mounted on the clamping sleeve 4. Member 15 also acts as a seal between the bearing and the tapering loosening flange. This is realized in view of dirt, which penetrates via the slotted clamping sleeve 4. Member 15 furthermore causes the tapering loosening flange to be carried along thus that it rotates with the clamping sleeve 4 and thereby with the shaft 1. In the lower half of Fig. 1 certain parts, such as seals and locking ring have been omitted. This has been done in order on one hand to increase the clarity and on the other hand more clearly to illustrate near at hand variations of bearing attachment and sealing of the bearing. In the seal arrangement shown at the upper part of the picture there are two radial seals 16,17, which act against mounting flange 8 and against tapering loosening flange 6, resp. As they of course extend all around the periphery, they shall for this alternative also be present in the lower part of the picture. They have been omitted there for other reasons. Axially beside the seal 16 there is a locking ring 13. It is shown in broken lines, as it is either mounted or omitted. In the cases where it is mounted, the bearing is kept axially locked by means of this very locking ring 13. This is referred to as a locating bearing arrangement. If however the locking ring 13 is omitted, the bearing 2 can be axially displaced within certain limits before its motion is restricted by the locking ring 12. This is named a free bearing arrangement. A shaft is normally supported by a locating bearing and a free bearing. Thereby no bearing loads will occur, when the shaft 1 during temperature variations alters its length. Within the scope of the invention a plurality of different sealing arrangements can be used. In certain cases there may not be required any seal at all, which corresponds to the free bearing embodiment shown in the lower part of Fig. 1. Then the bearing unit should e.g. be positioned in an installation, wherein bearing lubrication is satisfied in another manner. Furthermore the bearing may be of a so called sealed type. This means that the bearing is equipped with seals at both sides and is lubricated for life. In this case the very bearing thus is sealed off and then the seals 14 and 15 are not required. When the wedge-pointed screw 5 is tightened, the bearing inner race ring due to wedge effect will be displaced to the left in the figure, whereas the tapering loosening flange will be displaced in the opposite direction. As the operating direction of the wedge-pointed screw is inclined against the inner race ring, the motion of the inner race ring will be bigger than that for the loosening flange 6. In a case where the bearing is used as locating bearing, i.e. the locking ring 13 is positioned, it is impossible for the outer race ring of the bearing to move laterally to an appreciable extent, when the wedge-pointed screw is tightened. The bearing type shown, a spherical roller bearing, has an axial clearance of 0,6 - 0,7 mm. If this distance of movement for the inner race ring in relation to the bearing outer race ring is sufficient for the clamping sleeve to come loose, then the locking ring 13 need not be loosened. Otherwise it is necessary to loosen the locking ring 13, before the wedge-pointed screw 5 is tightened in order to loosen the clamping sleeve from the shaft. From conveniency aspects, it thus can be an advantage if the wedge-pointed screw 5 gives a big axial motion to the loosening flange 6 and only a small motion to the inner race ring of the bearing. It should be observed that the bearing unit can be used with all types of bearings, which shall be fitted to a shaft. The bearings thus can have highly varying axial bearing clearances. In most cases when a bearing unit is mounted there is space available in axial direction at one side of the shaft. It is possible e.g. that the shaft fitted e.g. with gear wheel is already mounted in another bearing housing and the complete bearing unit with bearing housing, bearing seals and clamping sleeve is mounted by being slid onto the shaft from the shaft end. Then there is plenty of space for tightening the set screws 9 for arresting the bearing to the shaft. However there may also be cases when the space is so small that it is difficult to tighten the set screws 9. In this case a solution in accordance with Fig. 2 could be used. Here wedge-pointed screws 5' are used in combination with a tapering mounting flange 22 for locking the bearing to the shaft. In this case it is appropriate to have at least two wedge-pointed screws 5', in order not to pull the clamping sleeve 4 to a tilted position. Otherwise the same applies as for the solution according to Fig. 1, which means that a member 15 is used as seal and for carrying along the loosening flange. This means that at mounting of the clamping sleeve on the shaft, the wedge-pointed screw 5' is tightened thus that its tapering point enters between the bearing inner race ring and the tapering flange 6', thus that these are pushed apart and the clamping sleeve is locked to the shaft. Before the installation is put into service, the wedge-pointed screws 5' then must be untightened, e.g. to the position shown in Fig. 2 or be completely removed, thus that the immobile screws will not contact the rotating flange 6' or rotating portions of the bearing. It is here presupposed that the conical surfaces of bearing and clamping sleeve have such a flat taper angle that they are safely self-locking in relation to each other. Otherwise another type of locking thereof is required. A method for creating such a locking is to make the wedge-pointed screws rotate with the shaft. This can be carried through e.g. in the following manner. Like the solution in Fig. 2 the parts for mounting are positioned to the left in relation to the bearing. For dismounting the clamping sleeve similar parts can be used at the right hand side of the bearing. The planar washer is preferably given a bigger outer diameter and is equipped with bent out lugs, angled just about in parallel with the shaft and in a direction away from the bearing. These lugs then are provided with threaded holes for small short wedge-pointed screws, which are fitted to the different holes and are accomodated inside the bearing housing. The wedge-pointed screws are tightened through holes in the bearing housing and press apart the planar washer and the tapering flange, due to wedge action. On the mounting side it also should be possible to provide the wedge-pointed screws with detachably fitted tightening members, which project into the holes in the housing 3 and which at the upper side preferably are equipped with plugs against dirt. In this manner the mounting is facilitated. By using wedge-pointed screws 5' also for mounting the clamping sleeve it is possible to use flanges 6, 6' of smaller outer diameter. Hereby it is also possible to use smaller sealing members, which results in lower energy losses and lower costs. It thus is possible to use similar components on both sides of the bearing, which gives lower costs. Fig. 3 shows a somewhat different variety of the bearing unit as compared to that according to Fig. 1. In this case the wedge-pointed screw 5 has a smaller angle , namely about 8°, in relation to the plane of the bearing. Furthermore a planar loosening flange 7 is now used, which is axially locked to the clamping sleeve 4 in a manner similar to the loosening flange 6. A conical washer 23 has been insterted nearest to the bearing. Thus a further member has been added. Between the conical washer 23 and the loosening flange 7 there is in a similar manner as before a member 15 for sealing and carrying along the loosening flange. At this solution the wedge action operates somewhat different than at the earlier described case, when the wedge-pointed screw 5 is screwed down. As the wedge-pointed screw 5 is screwed down, its somewhat rounded tip first will engage the conical washer 23. Thereby the inner race ring of the bearing and thereby the clamping sleeve and the shaft will move in the left hand direction in the figure during use of a part of or the entire axial play of the bearing. This side motion also causes the planar loosening flange 7 to travel to the left in the figure and thereby come to a rest against the wedge-pointed screw 5. This will take place on or near the cylindrical surface 19 of the wedge-pointed screw. The mode of operation thus is mainly that wedge action occurs by the wedge-pointed screw 5 acting against the conical washer 23 and that the planar loosening flange rests against the cylindrical surface 19 of the wedge-pointed screw. This means, that there is normally no advance movement of the clamping sleeve 4 to the right in the figure. The entire loosening movement is instead effected by the inner race ring of the bearing being moved to the left in the figure. In locating bearing applications this can be a disadvantage as compared to the solution according to Fig. 1. When tightening a wedge-pointed screw 5 it must also be envisaged that the screw will deflect somewhat thus that its tip will move in a direction more straight downwards against the shaft, which can be of a certain advantage. The solution according to Fig. 3 can also be modified in that the angle is reduced further down to 0°. Then the wedge-pointed screw 5 is parallel to the plane of extension of the bearing. Also the flank of the surface 19 of the wedge-pointed screw will be parallel to the adjacent surface of the planar loosening flange 7, which may be a certain advantage. Fig. 4 shows a solution wherein the wedge-pointed screw 5 is screwed straight down, i.e. in parallel to the plane of extension of the bearing. Like the solution according to Fig. 1 also here is used a tapering loosening flange 6. Nearest to the bearing is provided a planar washer 24. Between the planar washer 24 and the loosening flange 6 is provided a member 15 for sealing and carrying along the loosening flange, in a manner as earlier described. When the wedge-pointed screw 5 is screwed down, its tapering surface 18 will cooperate with the conical surface of the loosening flange 6, and the cylindrical surface 19 of the wedge-pointed screw will cooperate with the planar washer 24. Hereby is created a wedge effect, where mainly the entire advance movement occurs in that the clamping sleeve 4 is moved to the right in the figure. This is particularly desirable at locating bearing applications, as the bearing then can be loosened from the shaft in a safe manner without the need of first removing the locking ring 13. Similar to what is shown in Fig. 2 the solution according to Fig. 4 can be transformed thus that wedge-pointed screws 5' on the left side of the bearing are used for fitting the bearing to the shaft. Thereby a planar washer is also positioned at the left side of the bearing and nearest thereafter a member for sealing and carrying along the loosening flange, and at the end a conical loosening flange 6'. When affixing the clamping sleeve 4 to the shaft by means of set screws 5' it is particularly advantageous that the entire advance movement occurs by the clamping sleeve 4 being moved to the left in the figure. Hereby it is safely avoided that the bearing is subjected to squeezing in axial direction. In certain cases this could occur at the earlier solutions, when used with wedge-pointed screws for mounting the bearing to the shaft. Fig. 5 shows a solution where the bearing is mounted by means of a more conventional clamping sleeve 25. Normally this is not slotted but solid. Outside its big end the tapering clamping sleeve is provided with a radially projecting flange portion 26. This is designed with a tapering surface 27, which is facing the bearing. One or more wedge-pointed screws 5 are screwed down thus that the tapering surface 18 will wedge between the tapering surface 27 of the flange portion 26 and the end surface of the inner race ring of the bearing. Hereby the inner part of the bearing and the clamping sleeve 25 will be pushed apart in axial direction. The geometry is similar to the one used in Fig. 1, and thereby the advance movement also will occur mainly at the inner race ring of the bearing but also to a great extent at the clamping sleeve. Similar to what applies for the other solutions also this solution can be designed thus that wedge-pointed screws 5' can be located at the opposite side of the bearing and be used for fitting the bearing to the shaft. In this case the tapering clamping sleeve 25 must be extended at the end opposed to the flange portion 26. This extension shall have a diameter less than the smallest inner diameter of the bearing, thus that mounting is possible. A loose flange portion then is pushed up on the projecting part of the clamping sleeve thus created, and is locked axially by means of e.g. a locking ring behind it. The loose flange portion then has a conical surface corresponding to the tapering surface 27 and also facing the bearing. When two or more wedge-pointed screws are tightened the clamping sleeve will be attached relative to the bearing and the shaft. The loose flange portion and flange portion 26 can be designed thus that seals corresponding to 16 and 17 can be used and contact the flange portions. It is also possible to use seals directly contacting the surface of the shaft or one or more sleeves positioned on the shaft. In a corresponding manner a mounting flange 8 can also be fitted to the clamping sleeve and by means of auxiliary screws 9 allow mounting of the bearing on the shaft.
