Abstract:
A hydrodynamic bearing includes an annular inner surface surrounding a rotary shaft to support and guide rotation thereof about the longitudinal rotation axis thereof in an upstream to downstream rotation direction. The inner surface includes an orifice for supplying lubricant and first and second discharge recesses distributed on either side of the supply orifice according to the width of the bearing. The first discharge recess opens into a first side groove and the second discharge recess opens into a second side groove. The first and second side grooves extend along a portion of the circumference of the bearing on lateral sides of the inner surface of the bearing, from the respective first and second discharge recesses towards a third discharge recess located downstream of the two recesses, to direct the lubricant collected by the first and second discharge recesses towards the third recess to be discharged outside the bearing.

Claim (Index 18):
The bearing according to  claim 13 , wherein said third discharge recess has at least one discharge channel to radially discharge the lubricant collected by said side grooves to outside the bearing.
