Patent ID: 8753077

Claim:
A slinger shield structure fit for disposition within a recess of an end shield comprising first and second axial faces displaced from one another along an axis and a radial face extending between the first and second axial faces, the recess being defined by the second axial face and the radial face, the slinger shield structure, comprising: a first annular disc, having a body, opposing faces defining an aperture extending through the body and through-holes extending through the body, which are arrayed around the aperture to admit fluid from between the second axial face of the end shield and the first annular disc; a second annular disc having a body and opposing faces defining an aperture extending through the body; a hub for connection with the first and second annular discs at the respective apertures; and radial vanes suspended between the first and second annular discs at a distance from the hub to define radial channels between adjacent radial vanes and drainage channels between the radial vanes and the hub, the through-holes being defined radially proximate to narrow-most sections of the radial channels.
