Abstract

1380254 Ball joints IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd 13 Jan 1972 [22 Jan 1971] 2966/71 Heading E2F A method of forming a lined socket for a ball joint comprises inserting a tubular member 1, Fig. 2, formed from a deformable low friction material containing a fluorocarbon polymer, such as P.T.F.E., into an aperture 3 formed through a socket member 2 such that the end of the tubular member is deformed inwardly about a constriction on which the ball is to be seated. The curved surface 4 defining the constriction has the same radius as the upper section of the aperture and the lining is preferably pushed completely through orifice 5 to secure it in position; the orifice being non-circular to resist lining rotation. The ball is mounted, Fig. 6, so that it abuts surface 4 with its stem projecting through the orifice and the member 1, which in the embodiment shown is formed from a strip of material bent to form a tube and which can have V-slots cut in one or both ends, can be deformed over at least part of the top of the ball and held in place by spring 13 acting between plates 12, 14. The polymer may be filled with such materials as glass fibres, graphite, powdered coke, metals, metal oxides or organic fillers such as polyamides.
