Abstract
The invention relates to a slide bearing comprising with a bearing opening (4) pertaining to a hinge-housing component (2) and a flange bearing box (6) pressed into said bearing opening (4), whereby a bearing pin (26) can be inserted and rotated therein. Said flange bearing box (6) has a crimped projection (50) which projects radially inwards in the direction of the periphery. In order to create a slide bearing which can be preassembled, said slide-bearing is formed such that said crimped projection (50), when viewed from a longitudinal section of the box forms as a curved region (52) in the wall of said flange bearing box (6) in the vicinity of the axial end of the bearing opening (4) and said curved region (52) projects into the flange (16) of the box (6) in such a way that a space (h) is created between the opening (4) and of the bearing outer side which faces the flange bearing box (6) in the region of the curved profile prior to insertion of the bearing pins (26). The curved region (52) of the flange bearing box (6) can be radially deformed radially in an outward direction.
