A joint connector of a railway vehicle comprises a concave joint (22) and a convex joint (21). A traction load transfer section and/or a compression load transfer section are provided between the concave joint and the convex joint. The traction load transfer section and the compression load transfer section are detachable assembled in the concave joint. The service life of the concave joint is prolonged due to the arrangement of the traction load transfer section and the compression load transfer section.

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 (1, 37) for a chassis of a vehicle has an inner joint portion (4) and a one-piece slide bearing (10) made of plastic, A joint ball (35) of the inner joint portion (4) is fitted so that it can swivel in a ball-bearing section (16). The slide bearing (10) has a holding section (12, 38) for the arrangement of a sensor element (13, 39). In order to simplify the structure and/or assembly of the ball joint (1, 37), the outside of the slide bearing (10) has a circular-ring-shaped contact surface (20) which is formed coaxially relative to a central longitudinal axis (19) of the slide bearing (10) and which co-operates with a separate closure ring (9) surrounding the outside of the slide bearing (10) to fix the slide bearing (10) in a joint housing (3).

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.

A torque transmitting ball joint can include a spherical ball, a stem extending from the spherical ball, one or more pins coupled to the spherical ball, and a socket. The socket can define an opening sized to contain the spherical ball within the socket and one or more slots sized to accommodate a pin of the one or more pins. The one or more pins can be contained by the one or more slots and can translate within the slot as the spherical ball rotates relative to the socket about a pivot center. At least one of the one or more pins can abut a sidewall of its slot and transmit torque from the stem to the socket via the spherical ball when the stem and spherical ball rotates relative to the socket.

A universal joint is provided, including: a seat, including a receiving room extending in an axial direction and at least one through hole in communication with the receiving room; a connecting member, including a ball head rotatably received within the receiving room; and an assembling mechanism, including at least one blocking member and a sleeve member sleeved around the seat, the at least one blocking member being received within the at least one through hole and blockable with the ball head in the axial direction, the sleeve member covering the at least one through hole; wherein the seat has a first hardness, the sleeve member has a second hardness smaller than the first hardness, an outer circumferential wall of the seat is partially embedded within an inner circumferential wall of the sleeve member.

The disclosure provides a robotic tool. The robotic tool includes a body (1), an upper cover (2) and a connecting device (3). The connecting device (3) includes a connecting seat fixed on the upper cover and a connecting rod (30) fixed on the body. The connecting seat includes a locking component (32), and the locking component is provided with a plurality of elastic connecting walls (323), and the elastic connecting walls (323) jointly define a sunken cavity (322) to house a connecting head of the connecting rod. When the locking component (32) is in a release position, the elastic connecting walls can be deformed outward to allow the connecting head to be removed from the sunken cavity. When the locking component is in a locking position, the elastic connecting walls are restricted from deforming outwards to keep the connecting head in the sunken cavity (322).

The present invention relates to a joining arrangement having a receiver with a receiving opening and having a ball joint which is spread open into the receiver, wherein the ball joint comprises a joint pin with a joint ball and a joint socket for receiving the joint ball, wherein the joint socket has at least two wings with in each case one internally situated joint surface, wherein the joint surfaces are in contact with the joint ball and enclose the joint ball in sections. According to the invention, the wings have in each case one reboundable resilience section by means of which the respective joint surface presses with a defined force onto the joint ball.

Adjustable and rebuildable ball joint assemblies are disclosed. Methods for installation, adjustment, and rebuilding ball joint assemblies are described. In some embodiments, the ball joint assembly includes a washer with tabs to restrain rotation of the cap relative to the housing. In some embodiments, the ball joint assembly includes a locking mechanism to restrain rotation of the bearing relative to the housing.

A ball and socket joint (1) having non-smooth interlocking surfaces (15) wherein projections (8) and corresponding voids (7) mate when the socket (9) and ball (2) are clamped together to prevent the ball from slipping out of position while the ball and socket joint is in use and under pressure.
