Then, the intermediate assembly 17a configured as described above is nitrided. On the other hand, the other holder element 8 of the both holder elements 8 and 8a is nitrided in a single state.
- a nitride layer is formed on the entire circumferential surface of the other holder element 8.
- the intermediate assembly 17a since the small diameter hole 28 of the through hole 12a and the large diameter portion 18 of the rivet 9a are press-fit fitted, no nitrided layer is formed in this portion, but the head of the rivet 9a A gap 30 is formed between the flat plate portion 11a and the flat plate portion 11a, and a gap 22 is formed between the large diameter hole 29 of the through hole 12a and the outer peripheral surface of the large diameter portion 18 of the rivet 9a. Therefore, a nitrided layer is formed in the portion.
- the flange portion 13a of the rivet 9a receives an axial pressing force, and is radially outward on the inner side of the through holes 12, 12a of the pair of cage elements 8, 8a. Plastically deforms as it expands. By plastically deforming the rivets 9a in this manner, part or all of the gaps existing between the outer peripheral surface of each rivet 9 and the inner peripheral surfaces of the through holes 12 and 12a including the gaps 22 disappear. As a result, both the holder elements 8 and 8a and the ridge portion 13 of each rivet 9a are fixed without rattling.
- the intermediate assembly 17a forms the gap 30 between the head 14 of the rivet 9a and the flat plate portion 11a, but it is difficult to eliminate the gap 30 in the caulking process or the like, or There is no need to provide the gap 30, for example, when the

- One cage element 8b of the present embodiment differs from the one cage element 8a of the second example of the embodiment only in the shape of the through hole 12b formed in the flat plate portion 11b.
- the other configuration is the same as that of the second example of the embodiment, so the description will be omitted.
- Each through hole 12b formed in each flat plate portion 11b of one cage element 8b has an axially outer side (opposite to the other cage element 8) and an axially inner side (the other) as shown in FIG. (The side of the cage element 8 of FIG. 1) comprises a tapered hole 29a. Because the inner diameter d 28 of the small-diameter hole 28, the outer diameter D 18 of the cylindrical large-diameter portion 18 provided in the head 14 near portion of the rod portion 13a of the rivet 9a is clearance fit, or, if the intermediate There is a dimensional relationship that On the other hand, the tapered hole 29a is a tapered hole whose diameter gradually increases from the small diameter hole 28 toward the inner side in the axial direction (the side of the other cage element 8).
- the method for manufacturing a waveform holder and the waveform holder according to the present invention can perform the nitriding treatment of each member constituting the waveform holder at low cost and can improve the handleability of the intermediate assembly.

事を特徴とする波形保持器。
図1~3は、本発明の実施の形態の1例を示している。尚、本例の特徴は、波形保持器を構成する1対の保持器素子8a、8bにそれぞれ複数ずつ設けた平板部11a、11b同士を互いに重ね合わせた状態で、各平板部11a、11b同士を、リベット9b、9bにより結合固定する部分の構造及びその製造方法にある。波形保持器全体の形状及び構造を含め、その他の部分の構造及び作用は、前述の図7~6に示した構造を含め、従来から知られている一般的な波形保持器と同様であるから、重複する図示並びに説明は、省略若しくは簡略にし、以下、本例の特徴部分を中心に説明する。
尚、本例の対象となる、一般的な波形保持器とは、前述した様に、完成状態で、各ポケットの両端の開口幅が、それぞれこれら各ポケット内に保持すべき玉の直径よりも小さくなっているものを言う。
これに対し、本発明を実施する場合、中間組立体17aに対して窒化処理を施す際に、各頭部14a、14aの内側面と各平板部11a、11aの外側面との間に隙間を設けておけば、互いに対向する各頭部14a、14aの内側面と各平板部11a、11aの外側面の一部とにも、確実に窒化層を形成する事ができる。この場合には、当該窒化処理を行った後に、各頭部14a、14aの内側面と各平板部11a、11aの外側面とを当接させる作業を行う。尚、この作業を、かしめ部15aの形成と同時に行う様にすれば、製造工程を増やさずに済む。
図4は、本発明の実施の形態の第2例の波型保持器の斜視図を示し、図5は、波形保持器の中間組立体の部分断面図を示している。尚、本例の特徴は、保持器を構成する1対の保持器素子8、8aのうちの、一方の保持器素子8aの各貫通孔12aの形状を工夫した点にある。この特徴部分以外の製造方法及び構造は、前述した先発明の波形保持器の製造方法及び構造、或いは、従来から知られている波形保持器の製造方法及び構造とほぼ同様であるから、先発明或いは従来構造と同様に構成する部分に就いては説明を簡略にし、以下、本例の特徴部分を中心に説明する。
尚、本例の対象となる、一般的な波形保持器とは、前述した様に、完成状態で、各ポケットの両端の開口幅が、それぞれこれら各ポケット内に保持すべき玉の直径よりも小さくなっているものを言う。
従って、小径穴28にリベット9aの大径部18を圧入した状態で、この大径穴29と、リベット9aの大径部18の外周面との間に隙間22が形成される。
また、貫通孔12aは、プレス打ち抜き加工にて成形可能であり、従来の加工工程と同じ工程で成形することができる。
先ず、前述した先発明と同様に、図5に示した中間組立体17aを組み立てる。具体的には、一対保持器素子8、8aのうち、一方の保持器素子8aの軸方向外側(他方の保持器素子8の反対側)にリベット9aの頭部14を配置すると共に、大径部18を、各貫通孔12aの小径穴28に圧入する。但し、このとき、リベット9aの頭部14は、平板部11aに密着させず、少し浮いた状態に圧入する。この状態で、貫通孔12aの大径穴29とリベット9aの大径部18の外周面との間には、隙間22が形成され、リベット9aの頭部14と平板部11aとの間には、隙間30が形成される。次いで、上述の様に構成される中間組立体17aに対して窒化処理を施す。一方、両保持器素子8、8aのうち、他方の保持器素子8には、単体の状態で窒化処理を施す。
これに対し、特殊な例ではあるが、完成後の状態で、各ポケットの両端の開口幅のうち、一方の開口幅のみが、これら各ポケット内に保持すべき玉の直径よりも小さくなっており、他方の開口幅が、これら各玉の直径よりも大きくなっている波形保持器を対象として、上述した本発明の製造方法を実施する場合には、必ずしも、かしめ部を形成する前に1対の保持器素子の曲板部の内面同士の間に各玉を挟み込んでおく必要はない。
図6は、本発明の実施の形態の第3例である波形保持器の中間組立体17bの部分断面図を示している。本実施の形態の一方の保持器素子8bは、実施の形態の第2例の一方の保持器素子8aに対し、平板部11bに形成された貫通孔12bの形状のみ異なる。それ以外の構成は、実施の形態の第2例と同じなので、説明を省略する。
従って、小径穴28にリベット9aの大径部18を圧入した状態で、このテーパー穴29aと、リベット9aの大径部18の外周面との間に隙間22aが形成される。
このような構成をとることにより、実施の形態の第2例の波形保持器7aと同等の効果を得ることが出来る。
したがって、例えば、ラジアル玉軸受等、自動車、一般産業機械、工作機械等の各種機械装置の回転支持部に組み込まれる各種転がり軸受を構成する、玉を保持する波形保持器、及び、その製造方法として好適に採用することができる。
また、本発明の波形保持器の製造方法及び波形保持器は、前述した一般的な波形保持器に限らず、各ポケットの両端の開口幅のうち、一方の開口幅のみが、各ポケット内に保持すべき玉の直径よりも小さくなっており、他方の開口幅が、各玉の直径よりも大きくなっている、特殊な波形保持器を対象として実施する事もできる。
