A ball joint reducing influence on a characteristic by fixing a plug by swaging while preventing corotation of a bearing sheet. The ball joint includes a housing-including a housing body part and the plug fixed to the housing body part at one end portion thereof by swaging and closing the housing body part at the one end portion. The ball joint includes the cylindrical bearing sheet rotatably holding a ball part and housed and held in the housing. The bearing sheet includes a groove formed at an end facing the plug. The plug includes a projection inserted into the groove. The height of the projection is less than the depth of the groove, the width of the projection is greater than the width of the groove, and the projection contacts the bearing sheet at a width smaller on an inner side than on an outer side relative to the groove.

(Task) To provide a ball joint which is easily mounted to the panel with the ball stud mounted therein.

(Solution) A ball joint includes a ball stud 8 and a socket 10, the socket including: a base portion 12 that is annular about an axis extending in an insertion direction; multiple first protruding parts 13 that each protrude from the base portion in the insertion direction and are joined to each other; and second protruding parts 14, 34 that protrude from the base portion in the insertion direction in positions between the first protruding parts, wherein the second protruding parts rotatably hold the ball in cooperation with tips of the first protruding parts, the first protruding parts are each provided with an extension part 18 that extends out sideways with respect to a protruding direction, an outer surface of the extension part is provided with an engagement part 15 that engages with an edge part of the opening, the first protruding parts and the second protruding parts are each capable of deforming to bend in a radial direction with respect to the axis, and tips of the second protruding parts are positioned more in the insertion direction than edge parts of the extension part on a side of the insertion direction.

A three-point link having two control amis forming an acute angle and meet at a central joint. The central joint has a cylindrical dome extending perpendicular to a plane defined by the control amis. The central joint has a joint ball penetrated by the dome. To prevent separation of the central joint, it has a captive securing device which functions as a stop that extends perpendicular to an axial direction. The securing device is penetrated by the dome and is secured against axial withdrawal by an annular securing clement. Viewed in axial direction, the annular securing element is arranged on a side of the captive securing device) remote of the joint ball and engages in a circumferential groove of the dome. The annular securing element is snugly surrounded in radial direction by the captive securing device to prevent a withdrawal of the annular securing element from the circumferential groove.

Coupling device (20) for a vertical pole (8) for gym exercises comprising a hemispherical element (3) positioned inside a seat (22), a base (1), a shaft (5) inserted inside the hemispherical element (3) to which the vertical pole (8) for gym exercises is connected, said device (20) being characterized in that the hemispherical element (3) comprises a plurality of blocking elements (10, 33, 45) configured to be coupled to a plurality of corresponding elements (26, 34, 44), made on the inner surface of the seat (22) of the hemispherical element (3) to prevent the rotation of the pole (8) around an axis (X) passing through the centre of the coupling device (20) while leaving free the oscillatory movement of the pole (8) with respect to said axis (X).

A ball joint having an outer ring and an inner ring respectively including an interior surface and an exterior surface in contact one against the other. The outer ring including two opposite radial front faces axially delimiting the interior surface and two diametrically opposite notches formed on the interior surface and opening onto one of the front faces. Furthermore, the material of the outer ring includes an alloy with the formula NiCr19Fe18Nb or an alloy with the formula X6NiCrTiMoVB25-15-2 and the material of the inner ring includes an alloy with the formula CoCr29W5.

A ball joint includes a grease boot having a snap ring at least partially embedded in an elastomeric body. The snap ring has a C-shaped body that defines a compressible radial gap in the elastomeric body. The snap ring can be at least partially embedded in a flange of the grease boot, with a radially outermost edge of the flange including a first elastomeric shoulder, a second elastomeric shoulder, and an exposed outer wall of the snap ring located between the first elastomeric shoulder and the second elastomeric shoulder.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods of a variable position ball joint with dynamic length are disclosed and include a ball, and a seat with a guide surface; an arc of the ball defines endpoints of an arc path for revolving the ball in the guide surface; a center point of the ball is concentric with a center of rotation of the seat so that the center point of the ball and the seat move in a single axis of movement; and an interface that guides the ball along the guide surface, wherein the guide surface is parallel to the single axis of movement to cause the ball to traverse the seat travel arc while maintaining a center of rotation concentric with the seat resulting in a change in length of an attached component with respect to a concentric center point of rotation during an articulation action of the ball joint.

The invention relates to a sealing apparatus for sealing the ball joint of a kingpin comprising at least one holding ring and at least one seal ring, wherein the seal ring is provided at least partially within a groove of the holding ring, and wherein the groove is provided in a radially inwardly disposed region of the holding ring.

Closure element having two brackets which are substantially perpendicular or transverse with respect to one another. The closure element closes a ball socket, with the result that a pivot therein cannot be removed. To this end, it closes the opening of the ball socket. The ball socket and the pivot with the closure element form a secured ball joint which is used for wiping systems. The securing is carried out by the closure element being pushed onto the ball joint.

A ball joint includes an outer race having an exterior surface extending from an outer axial end to an inner axial end thereof and having an interior that has an opening proximate the outer axial end. The ball joint includes a ball with a stem extending therefrom. The ball is disposed in the interior area with the stem extending out of the opening. The ball joint has an anti pull-out collar disposed around the outer race and located entirely beyond a center point of the ball towards the outer axial end of the outer race. The anti pull-out collar has a radial thickness configured to prevent radial expansion of the outer race.
