A multi-lobe bearing is of simple construction such that a foil sheet in
the form of a closed loop is arranged on a journal shaft by joining both
ends of two sheets together, with a bearing gap therebetween and filling
a viscoelastic body in an air gap between the foil sheet and an inside of
a bearing holding member, whereby the bearing gap between the journal
shaft and the foil sheet is configured to be liable to generate a fluid
pressure. Also, the bearing is simply constructed to be made easy in
assembly, and in particular, appropriate in bearing the journal shaft
having a small diameter.
