Abstract

A one-piece intermediate member for separating from each other anti-friction bodies of an anti-friction bearing. This intermediate member has a mantle surface adapted to the race cross section of the respective anti-friction bearing for which the intermediate member is intended. The intermediate member is by a dividing wall or partition extending substantially perpendicular to the axis of the intermediate member divided into two sections forming an image to each other. Each side of the dividing wall, which latter may e.g. be of synthetic material such as plastics, is provided with a reinforcement, e.g. in the form of a ring or a polygon, and this reinforcement is connected by webs to the mantle and has ribs extending from the reinforcement in the direction toward the axis of the intermediate member with the inner ends of the ribs being spaced from each other.
