    Abstract: A retainer that suppresses retainer sound, includes a main body portion, a plurality of pockets provided in a circumferential direction, and penetrates through the main body portion in a radial direction, and a retaining surface that faces a ball, and forms a C shape when viewed from the radial direction. The retaining surface includes a C-shaped outer circumferential corner portion, a C-shaped inner circumferential corner portion, a first retaining surface arranged in a first rotational direction with respect to the ball, and a second retaining surface arranged in a second rotational direction with respect to the ball. The first retaining surface extends along a first spherical surface obtained by rotating a first virtual circle around a virtual line passing through an axial center and a center of the ball. The second retaining surface extends along a second spherical surface obtained by rotating a second virtual circle around the virtual line.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a bearing ring member includes an inversion step of deforming a workpiece having an annular shape by sandwiching the workpiece between a punch disposed on a first side in a predetermined direction and a die disposed on a second side. The punch has a first R surface formed in a circular arc shape. The die has a second R surface formed in a circular arc shape, and a tapered surface inclined with respect to the predetermined direction. The inversion step includes a first step of deforming the workpiece using the punch and the die in a state where the first R surface and the second R surface are in contact with the workpiece, and a second step of deforming the workpiece using the punch and the die in a state where the first R surface and the tapered surface are in contact with the workpiece.
