Abstract (en)
The element -type cam follower has a spherical end on which the cam follower is pivotally mounted through a concave depression. The element engages into an annular groove under the spherical end where a central portion of the connecting element bears against an underside of the cam follower oriented toward the support element and forms, through two legs and a crossbar connecting these legs to each other, a U-shaped recess in longitudinal direction of the cam follower. The recess engages around the groove after the manner of a fork and orthogonally to a pivoting direction of the cam follower without lash. Angled retaining claws bent from the legs extend in transverse direction of the cam follower and engage with pincers over side walls of the cam follower, so that by a clamping of the retaining claws through shaped sections directed toward inner surfaces of the side walls, the U-shaped recess is fixed in respect of position in transverse direction of the cam follower and in respect of shape. The element can be pushed onto the cam follower in parallel orientation to a longitudinal direction of the cam follower. The spherical end of the support element is already in place in the concave cavity when the connecting element is pushed onto the cam follower.
