Abstract

754,167. Ball joints. THOMPSON PRODUCTS, Inc. May 31, 1954 [Jan. 22, 1954], No. 16070/54. Class 65 (2). A ball-and-socket joint for a tie-rod comprises a tubular housing 14 with an axially-extending keyway 19, the ball member 27 being rotatable and tiltable between bearing blades 30, 31 which are shiftably mounted in the housing and have lugs or projections 36 extending into the keyway to prevent rotation of the blocks in the housing. In the form shown, the keyway is formed by embossing a rib on the housing, which has a keyhole opening 17 opposite the keyway 19, for insertion of the ball, and tapers to a smaller portion 12 threaded for screwing on the end of a rod. The bearing blocks 30, 31 have conical cut-outs 35 to allow ample tilting of the stud. The block 30 is held in place by a screw-plug 41, and 31 is pressed against the ball by a spring bearing on a member 23 supported by a tapered plug 20; the member 23 has a central stem to limit movement of the block 31 against the spring. A lubricating fitting 45 is provided on the side of the housing.
