20090010706 | Ball Joint - A ball joint is provided that when a load equal to or greater than a first predetermined value is applied in the axial direction of a ball stud, if a cushion seat is deformed by a predetermined amount, an opposing surface portion contacts a first load receiving portion of a ball seat, preventing the cushion seat from being deformed by a predetermined amount in the central axis direction. When a load equal to or greater than a second predetermined value greater than the first is applied in the axial direction of the ball stud, a second load receiving portion of the ball seat contacts a bottom surface portion of an inner chamber of a socket, whereby an axial load onto the cushion seat is reduced, and the ball seat prevents the cushion seat from being deformed by a predetermined amount or more in the axial direction. | 01-08-2009 |
20090047063 | BALL JOINT - Provided is a ball joint which enhances a sealing performance between a boot seal ( | 02-19-2009 |
20090196682 | Bi-directional strut end for ball stud mounted devices - A ball and socket joint connector is provided at opposing ends of a strut, the connector includes a socket body having an interior chamber and a ball stud including a ball end movable within and relative to the interior chamber. The ball end is connected to a stud base. The socket body includes sidewall extensions to limit movement of the ball in a first direction and prohibiting movement of the ball stud in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A retainer secures the ball end within the interior chamber preventing fore and aft movement of the ball stud but allowing rotation movement of the ball end within the chamber. | 08-06-2009 |
20100284733 | Axial Ball Joint with Impact Damping Mechanism - The invention relates to an axial ball joint ( | 11-11-2010 |
20120282015 | BALL AND SOCKET JOINT FOR A VEHICLE - A ball and socket joint comprises a joint ball which is enclosed and rotationally supported by a ball socket. The ball socket has two ball socket parts that move relative to one another in an axial direction. The ball socket parts acts on different sides of the joint ball that are opposite one another in the axial direction. A controllable adjusting device bias the two ball socket parts, relative to one another in the axial direction, so that pressure exerted on the joint ball by the twp ball socket parts can be varied. At least a first of the ball socket parts comprises a main body and at least one bearing section, which is elastically connected to the main body and by which the first ball socket part rests against the joint ball. | 11-08-2012 |
20140376991 | SPINDLE DRIVE FOR AN ADJUSTMENT ELEMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - The invention relates to a spindle drive for an adjusting element of a motor vehicle comprising a drive motor with a spindle-spindle nut gear arranged downstream for producing a drive force along a geometric spindle axis, wherein two connectors are provided for transferring the drive force and wherein at least one connector comprises a ball joint with a ball socket and an assigned ball, wherein the ball socket comprises a ball socket housing with a connecting piece. It is proposed that the ball socket in the ball socket housing has a damping shell and a bearing shell in the damping shell for the positive engagement with the ball so that the flux of force for the drive force passes via the damping shell and the bearing shell. | 12-25-2014 |
20150322998 | Ball Joint - The present invention discloses a ball joint. A ball joint according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a stud member having a spherical portion formed to be convex along an exterior circumference, a bearing member seated on an exterior circumference of the spherical portion and facilitating rotation of the stud member, an outer pipe provided at an outside of the bearing member, a seat member provided between and coupling the bearing member and the outer pipe, a pair of rubber ring members provided respectively at both sides of the spherical portion on the exterior circumference of the stud member, and a pair of outer ring members, each of the pair of outer ring members being coupled on an exterior circumference of each rubber ring member. | 11-12-2015 |
