An oil-slinger device (60) is proposed for a bearing (36) of a shaft (32) in a transmission housing (34) of a motor vehicle (2). On the oil-slinger device (60) projections (72) are provided which cooperate with intakes (74) in the transmission housing (34) to form a positive locking connection. An end (84) of the oil-slinger device (60) is situated within the transmission housing (34) between the bearing (36) to be supplied and the transmission housing (34). The oil-slinger device (60) is preferably made of a heat-resistant plastic material and is divided in three sections, a first section (62) which essentially serves to collect the oil, a second section (70) designed as tank and a third section (8) which conveys the oil to the bearing (36) to be lubricated. Above the oil-slinger device (60) there can be provided ribs (94) from which oil can drip into the oil-slinger device (60).
An oil-slinger device (60) for a bearing (36) on a shaft (32) located within a transmission housing (34) of a vehicle (2), and said transmission housing (34) comprising a side wall and accommodating therein a plurality of gears and at least an input shaft and an output shaft;
