Abstract

971,081. Ball joints. V. LANGEN. June 8, 1961 [June 25, 1960; Dec. 9, 1960], No. 20810/61. Heading E2F. A ball and socket joint has a lining 4 of resilient material in contact with the ball 2 on both sides of the equator thereof and formed with meridional slits 6 on one side of the equator, the resilient tongues between the slits being pressed against the ball by an annular pressure-applying member 7 which surrounds the tongues and has an inclined surface 8 bearing against the tongues and a cylindrical surface bearing against the internal wall of the socket. The member 7 may be a split ring or a number of curved segments and may be loaded by a coil spring 13 or by a disc having circular corrugations. The slit part of the lining may be at the oppposite end, as shown, or the same end of the socket as that from which the ball pin 1 projects, and the member 7 may be made of steel or hard synthetic material.
