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 12):
A carriage assembly comprising:\n a first housing piece including a first surface and a first half-moon recess extending into the first surface and having a bearings surface with a first array of raised dimples; a second housing piece including a second surface and a second half-moon recess extending into the second surface and having a bearings surface with a second array of raised dimples, wherein the first and second housing pieces are assembled to each other with the first and second surfaces engaging and with the first and second recesses aligned to form a cylindrical hole; and a cylindrical bushing received in the hole and including an outer surface disposed against the dimples of the first and second arrays, wherein the dimples of the first and second arrays are partially deformed to create an interference fit between the dimples and the bushing.
