Abstract
1,172,930. Ball joints. SKF KUGELLAGERFABRIKEN G.m.b.H. 22 Dec., 1967 [24 Dec., 1966], No. 58462/67. Heading E2F. A ball joint comprises two relatively movable socket parts, the first, 6, of which provides an annular spherical socket surface 7, and the second, 9, of which is movable relative to the first along that radius of the sphere of the annular socket surface which passes through the centre of the hole of the annulus, in combination with means to load the second socket part towards the centre of the sphere of the annular socket surface with a predetermined load when the second socket part is in contact with the ball 3, the said means comprising an adjustable abutment so that the load on the second socket part can be adjusted to have different values. As shown in the Fig., the second socket part is so shaped that it contacts the ball only where the said radius intersects the surface of the ball and the annular spherical socket surface lies entirely on a hemisphere. The loading means may comprise a spring means consisting of multi-rate plate springs 13 abutting between the socket part 9 and an adjusting screw 10, the bottom of bush 6 being slotted at 11, and a screw 12 which can load the sides of the slot 11 towards one another so that screw 10 can be secured against undesired slackening. The adjusting screw has a cylindrical pin 14 which centres the springs B in the bore 8. The joint may also comprise a calibrated shim 19 between flange 18 of bush 6, and member 2, a sealing ring 17 and a cap 16 snapped into a circumferential groove 15.
