Abstract

891,798. Ball joints. ENGINEERING PRODUCTIONS (CLEVEDON) Ltd. Jan. 18, 1960 [July 20, 1959], No. 24829/59. Class 65(2). A ball joint comprises a two-part lining socket 8, 9 made of a deformable synthetic resin such as nylon one part being located by an inwardly overhanging shoulder 1a at the open end of the housing 1 and the other part being located by a screw cap or plug 7 at the closed end, the shank of the cap having a concentric recess 7c and a bevelled outwardly diverging inner end rim 7d which bears directly against a complementary external bearing surface on the adjoining socket part 9 to take up lost motion and pre-load the joint. A spring 10 which bears on the socket part 9 through a washer 11 may be provided in the recess 7c. The spaces between and at either end of the socket parts may be filled with lubricant when the joint is assembled, a flexible dust cover to retain the lubricant being provided at the open end of the housing.
