shaft and a bearing cap surrounding the thrust collar where the thrust collar has an annular flange that throws lubricant leaking along the shaft radially outwardly toward the bearing cap the bearing cap has an angled interior surface that deflects the lubricant thrown from the annular flange of the thrust collar back into the motor interior and toward the lubricant reservoir a thrust washer is also provided on the shaft adjacent the thrust collar and prevents lubricant leakage along the shaft between the interface of the shaft and the thrust collar the thrust washer and thrust collar have complementary configurations that maintain the thrust washer in position on the shaft adjacent the thrust collar application_number US 13044405 A description as stated earlier the lubricant retention assembly of the invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art bearing lubrication system by providing a thrust collar 70 and a bearing cap 72 that are designed to function together to reliably return any lubricant that reaches the thrust collar to the oil permeated fibrous material of the self contained lubricant reservoir of the motor in addition to the novel constructions of the thrust collar 70 and bearing cap 72 the bearing lubrication system of the invention also comprises a rubber washer 76 of novel construction that is complementary to the construction of the thrust collar as well as a novel application of the lubricant permeated fibrous material that forms the lubricant reservoir of the invention because the lubricant retention assembly of the invention is an improvement over the prior art bearing lubrication system described earlier the assembly of the invention will be described and explained using the same operative environment of fig1 that was employed in.
