Abstract

A cage for a rolling bearing, wherein the cage is intended to ensure the circumferential spacing of a row of rolling elements. The cage comprises pockets for the rolling elements and connecting portions, each connecting portion connecting two successive pockets. At least one of the connecting portions is elastically deformable at least in a circumferential direction so as to allow the two associated pockets to move relative to one another in the circumferential direction.
