Abstract

L'invention concerne un joint à rotule comportant un chapeau 24 sollicité par un ressort 25 et appliqué contre la tête sphérique 17 d'un tourillon. Il est caractérisé notamment en ce que le chapeau 24 est aligné avec un coussinet 18 dans lequel la tête spherique 17 est enclenchée élastiquement et reçue à rotation et en ce que l'alignement du chapeau 24 est facilité par une partie 38 de ce dernier qui pénètre dans l'embouchure 34 du coussinet 18. Applications à des mécanismes de direction de véhicules automobiles.The invention relates to a ball joint comprising a cap 24 biased by a spring 25 and applied against the spherical head 17 of a journal. It is characterized in particular in that the cap 24 is aligned with a pad 18 in which the spherical head 17 is elastically engaged and received in rotation and in that the alignment of the cap 24 is facilitated by a portion 38 of the latter which penetrates in the mouth 34 of the bearing 18. Applications to motor vehicle steering mechanisms.
