Abstract

A bearing for a rotating shaft including a main body with three sections. The first section has a square profile whose sides are dimensioned to be received in a corresponding square slot in a support structure and held against rotation. The second section has a profile with at least five sides with four sides thereof being coplanar with the four sides of the first section. The fifth side falls within the profile of the first section and preferably is substantially the same thickness as the support structure plus a retaining clip. The third section has a profile with a portion greater than any portion of the profiles of the first and second sections wherein the bearing can be inserted into the slot in the support structure and held in place with a retaining clip positioned substantially about the second section.
