Abstract
966,241. Ball joints. AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CO. Ltd. Oct. 24, 1962 [Nov. 27, 1961] No. 42333/61. Heading E2F. In a ball joint of the type comprising a ball 11 disposed within a substantially cylindrical open ended socket 5, an upper annular bearing bush 12 interposed between the ball and the socket and bearing against an internal shoulder 9 at the end of the socket from which the ball pin extends, and a lower annular spring loaded bearing bush, the lower bush is divided into two or more arcuate portions by gaps 3 or grooves 4, at least one of the divisions being a gap, and the external diameter of the bush is such as to provide a nominal clearance between the bush and the socket so that the spring urges the bush into contact with the ball and thereby forces the portions outwardly into engagement with the socket. The surface of the lower bush in contact with the ball may be conical, as shown, or partspherical, and both bushes may be made of synthetic plastics material such as nylon or acetal resin, which may contain additives such as molybdenum disulphide, graphite, silicones or P.T.F.E.
