Abstract

1,260,144. Ball and socket joints. QUINTON HAZELL (HOLDINGS) Ltd. 16 July, 1969 [11 July, 1968], No. 33053/68. Heading E2F. In a ball joint a metal ball pin 10 has a stem portion 12 which is screw threaded at one end 14 and has a part-spherical ball portion 16 at the other. The ball portion 16 is disposed within a housing 18 which consists of a body 24 with a cylindrical recess 28, and the stem portion 12 extends through the open end 20 of this housing, the other end 22 being closed. The open end 20 is formed with an inturned annular flange abutment 34 provided with a hole 36, the flange bears against an annular seat 40 of nylon or an acetal resin, inserted into the recess 28, which has a part spherical surface 42 to be engaged by the ball portion 16. Disposed within the recess 28 adjacent the closed end 22 is a metal cup with a cylindrical side wall 46 and an end wall 48. The end of the side wall abuts the end face 44 of the nylon seat. Within the cup is an annular seat 56 of solid polyurethane with a part spherical surface to engage the ball portion 16. A flexible dust cover 62 contacts the open end of the body 24 and the stem 12. In a second embodiment the side wall 46 and the end wall 48 are two separate parts. In a third embodiment the polyurethane seat is adjacent the open end of the housing and the nylon or acetal resin seat is adjacent the closed end.
