with a nearly rectangular cross section on end face 32 is formed one of which is eventually folded inwardly forming application section 34 see fig4 a large number of recesses 38 is formed on the other end u2014 relative to the ring axis u2014 of annular storage region 22 shown in fig4 and 5 at the bottom recesses 38 are separated by a section 26 which projects out of the lubricant storing material of lubricating element body for clarity only a few of these recesses and projections are labeled with reference numerals in fig4 and 5 recesses 38 which are cut out of rectangular base plate 70 along their one longitudinal side have the same depth t and width b and they are located next to each other along this longitudinal side and or next to each other in the circumferential direction along the other longitudinal end of the lubricating element body which is annular in shape in the installed state intermediate projections 26 which belong to storage region 22 also have the same width thereby resulting in a comb like or zig zag structure on the other end of storage region 22 with fingers 26 projecting out of the lubricant storing material which in the installed state plunge into the liquid lubricant contained in.
