In the inner and outer surfaces of the retainer 34b, there are
formed
recessed grooves 40a, 40a which serve as lubricating
oil flow passages for allowing lubricating oil to flow into pockets. Where the
axial-direction depth of the recessed groove 40a, 40a is
expressed as H and the circumferential-direction width thereof is expressed as
2L, 0.20H/L0.97 can be satisfied. Accordingly, it is possible to
provide a toroidal-type continuously variable transmission which can prevent the
damage of a retainer 34b incorporated into a thrust rolling bearing
for supporting a power roller and also can enhance the lubricating efficiency of
the present thrust rolling bearing.
