Abstract:
A carriage assembly includes a housing having first and second pieces each defining a recess that has a bearing surface with raised dimples. The first and second pieces are assembled to each other such that the recesses are aligned to form a cylindrical hole. A bushing is received in the hole and has an outer surface disposed against the dimples of the first and second pieces. The dimples are deformed during assembly to secure and locate the bushing within the cylindrical hole.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n providing a first housing piece defining a first recess that has a bearing surface with a first set of raised dimples; installing a bushing into the first recess with an outer surface of the bushing disposed against the first set of raised dimples; assembling a second housing piece, that defines a second recess having a bearing surface with a second set of raised dimples, onto the first housing piece to assemble a housing, wherein the pieces are assembled such that the recesses are aligned to form a hole extending through the housing and such that the bushing is disposed in the second recess with the outer surface of the bushing disposed against the second set of raised dimples; and compressing the first and second pieces towards each other to deform the dimples of the first and second sets against the outer surface creating an interference fit between the dimples and the bushing.
