Abstract

A sliding swing bearing in which a resilient cushion is interposed between a pair of supports, at least one of which is movable. The cushion is provided with a load-absorbing insert, of a harder material, spaced about its periphery, which are only partially embedded in the cushion and extend radially outward. The cushion is enclosed by an annular ring casing, the wall of which is formed so as to receive and engage the extending portion of the insert.
