Abstract

1,000,617. Pivotal joint. ALFORD & ALDER (ENGINEERS) Ltd. April 27, 1964 [June 19, 1963], No. 24459/63. Heading E2F. A pin or shackle joint or as shown a ball joint is provided with a rubber or plastic bellows seal 22 and is lubricated under pressure through a nipple 20 provision being made for reducing undue stress on the seal 22 due to excessive internal lubricant pressure by means of a vent 27 communicating with a bearing surface and closed by a valve 28, formed by a disc of stiff plastic material held beneath the head of the nipple 20, but opened when internal pressure becomes excessive. Lubricant is forced into the nipple 20 and through a passage 21 to a central lubricant passage 18 formed within a lower lining 17 beneath the ball and from the passage 18 radial lubricant passages 19 in the liner extend upwardly into a space 25 formed between an upper liner 16 and a lower liner 17. The space 25 is connected to the vent 27 by a vertical groove 26 in the lower lining 17 to complete the lubrication circuit.
