Resilient bearing with a positive guidance

A resilient bearing having a central axis and comprising an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve forming a supporting tube having a central portion disposed within said outer sleeve, and an annular resilient body of elastic material clamped between said outer sleeve and said inner sleeve, said inner and outer sleeves have central axes aligned with said bearing central axis, said resilient body having an initial shape with substantially cylindrical outer and inner surfaces and having a pair of cavities therein which are offset from each other on opposite sides of said resilient body and at opposite ends of said resilient body, each cavity extending from one of said opposite ends to a longitudinal central plane of the bearing, and wherein said resilient body has zones of solid resilient material extending across said inner sleeve at respective opposite ends thereof from each of said cavities, said resilient body being prestressed, one cavity being provided at each end of said resilient body and said cavities being diametrically offset from each other and, in respect to the axial cross section of the bearing, said outer sleeve having an inwardly tapering wall portion at each end thereof, each wall portion prestressing said resilient body from the outside of the resilient body and wherein said inner sleeve includes an inwardly tapering wall portion at each end thereof extending parallel to one of the tapering wall portions of said outer sleeve, said inner sleeve, before said resilient body is prestressed, having its central axis extending obliquely to said bearing central axis in a direction away from each zone of solid resilient material and toward each cavity.
