Pillow Block

From WikiPedalia

A pillow block is a solid piece of metal with a semi-circular groove in it, intended to clamp a round shaft or bearing.

The major bicycle application for pillow blocks is for handlebar stems . Most decent-quality BMX bicycles use pillow-block type stems, another term for what is known as a "pop-top" stem.
