Abstract:
A bearing device includes two co-axially arranged radial spherical bearings and can be used for mounting a pivoting swing arm of a vehicle suspension to a vehicle frame. By using the two radial spherical bearings together the pivot attachment only has a single degree of freedom. The radial spherical bearings are positioned against shoulders in a sleeve of the swing arm and around a spacer sleeve. One or more lubricant grooves are formed at the sliding interface of the bearings. A bushing with a lip holds a lubricant seal for each bearing, and a dust cover protects each lubricant seal. A pivot pin rod is inserted through openings in the vehicle frame and through the two bearings and other components, and is tightened in place such as with a nut.

Claim (Index 20):
The rear swing arm pivot assembly of  claim 19 , further comprising:\n a spacer positioned within the sleeve between the first bearing and the second bearing; a first bushing on the pivot pin rod, between the first mounting plate and the first bearing, the first bushing remaining fixed relative to the pivot pin rod during pivoting of the rear swing arm; a first lubricant seal and a first dust cover on the first end of the sleeve, the first lubricant seal and the first dust cover remaining fixed relative to the sleeve during pivoting of the rear swing arm; a second lubricant seal and a second dust cover on the second end of the sleeve, the second lubricant seal and the second dust cover remaining fixed relative to the sleeve during pivoting of the rear swing arm; and a second bushing on the pivot pin rod, between the second bearing and the second mounting plate, the second bushing remaining fixed relative to the pivot pin rod during pivoting of the rear swing arm.
