[0028]FIGS. 3A and 3B show the second embodiment of this invention. The ball bearing 1 of this embodiment is an angular ball bearing as with the first embodiment, and includes a retainer 5. The retainer 5 is formed by injection molding of resin, and includes annular portions on both sides of elliptical pockets 5a and connected to each other by bridges 5b defined between the adjacent pockets. As with the first embodiment, spaces δ in the rotational direction defined between the elliptical pockets 5a and balls 4 are 6-10% of the diameter of the balls 4.
Example
[0029]FIGS. 4A and 4B show the third embodiment of this invention. The ball bearing 1 of this embodiment is a deep groove ball bearing and includes a retainer 5. The retainer 5 retains a plurality of balls 4 disposed between a raceway groove 2a of an inner ring 2 and a raceway groove 3a of an outer ring 3. The retainer 5 comprises a pair of annular members. Each annular member is formed by pressing a metal sheet, and includes hemispherical recesses 5d and connecting portions 5e provided between the adjacent recesses 5d. The respective hemispherical recesses 5d of one annular member face their counterparts of the other annular member so as to define pockets 5a. The two annular members are connected to each other by studs 5f at the connecting portions 5e. The pockets 5a defined by the recesses 5d are elliptical, and spaces δ in the rotational direction of the bearing are provided between the pockets 5a and the balls 4. The spaces δ are 6-10% of the diameter of the balls 4 as with the fir
Example
[0030]FIGS. 5A and 5B show the fourth embodiment of this invention. The ball bearing of this embodiment is a deep groove ball bearing as with the third embodiment, and includes a retainer 5 formed by cutting a metal material. The retainer 5 comprises an annular portion and a plurality of bridges 5b extending from the annular portion in one axial direction of the bearing. Pockets 5a are defined between the adjacent bridges 5b. Thus, the retainer 5 is crown-shaped as a whole. The pockets 5a are elliptical with a discontinuous portion. Spaces δ in the rotational direction of the bearing are defined between the pockets 5 and the balls 4. The spaces δ are 6-10% of the diameter of the balls 4 as with the first embodiment.
[0031] In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the spaces δ in the rotational direction of the bearing disposed between the pockets and the balls are 6-10% of the diameter D of the balls 4. Alternatively, the spaces δ may account for 4-6% of the diameter D of the balls
