Bearing structure

Abstract

A bearing structure includes a pivot shaft and an elastomer for connecting to a pivot device formed from a first and a second connection member. The pivot shaft includes a connecting portion pivotally connected to the first connection member, an eccentric middle portion, and a bearing portion fixedly connected to the second connection member. The elastomer is mounted on the first connection member to contact with the eccentric middle portion of the pivot shaft, such that a tightness of contact between the elastomer and the eccentric middle portion is adjustable via an adjusting screw to locate the first and second connection members in place after they have been turned relative to each other. An elastic element is held between the pivot shaft and the first connection member to adjust a torsional force of the pivot device when the second connection member is turned relative to the first connection member.
