Abstract
Annular housing device intended for maintaining the circumferential spacing of the rolling elements, in particular balls, in a rolling bearing, having at least one row of balls arranged between two rolling tracks, the housing having a rear face and a front face which are axially offset and having a multiplicity of substantially spherical cells, in each of which a ball is arranged, the cells issuing axially on the front face and radially on the two sides, the front face having a multiplicity of pairs of opposite tabs for maintaining the balls in the cells. The front face comprises two surfaces axially offset relative to one another, of which an outer first surface has the tabs projecting from it and is located in a plane in front of the radial plane passing through the centers of the cells, and of which an inner second surface is located in a plane passing substantially through the centers of the cells.
