Abstract

For use on automobiles or similar, the ball joint incorporates an externally lined ball, thus eliminating precision machining processes. Of an approximately spherical form, the core ball receives a casing of material with a low coefficient of friction. The casing presents a spherical external surface, and the two are keyed by casing material entering core ball grooves. The grooves may be provided on two perpendicular major circules and the casing may be installed by over moulding. A flat back major circle zone may locate a casing joint, and the ball may fit in a two piece cage of which both sections provide spherical bearing surfaces.
