Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to provide a ball joint dust cover that, even if the diameter difference between a ball stud and a socket becomes smaller, maintains the shape of the dust cover in a bell shape, is able to solve the problem of the small-diameter opening section of the dust cover dropping off of the ball stud, and has favorable durability. As a result, in an elastic material ball joint dust cover, which is such that a spherical head section formed at one end of the ball stud is held in the socket, the shaft at the other end of the ball stud is clamped/affixed in a knuckle, a first-end, large-diameter opening section is affixed/held at the outer peripheral surface of the socket, and an other-end, small-diameter opening section at which a reinforcing ring is embedded is held at the shaft, the configuration is such that the reinforcing ring comprises a cylindrical section and a flange section extending towards the shaft from the knuckle-side end of the cylindrical section and is integrated with the small-diameter opening section in a manner so that the lateral surface at the knuckle side of the flange section and the inner peripheral surface of the flange section facing the peripheral surface of the shaft are exposed.
Abstract:
Dichtungsbalg, umfassend stirnseitig einerseits einen Dichtbereich (1), stirnseitig andererseits einen Befestigungsbereich (2) und einen in axialer Richtung zwischen dem Dichtbereich (1) und dem Befestigungsbereich (2) angeordneten Mantel (3), wobei der Mantel (3), der Dichtbereich (1) und der Befestigungsbereich (2) einstückig ineinander übergehend ausgebildet sind und aus einem gummielastischen Werkstoff bestehen und wobei im Dichtbereich (1) und dem Befestigungsbereich (2) jeweils ein Spannelement (4, 5) integriert ist. Der Mantel (3) ist herstellungsbedingt im Wesentlichen kugelförmig ausgebildet, wobei das erste Spannelement (4) im Dichtbereich (1) einen ersten Innendurchmesser aufweist, das zweite Spannelement (5) im Befestigungsbereich (2) einen zweiten Innendurchmesser und der Mantel (3) einen dritten größten Innendurchmesser und wobei der dritte größte Innendurchmesser herstellungsbedingt jeweils größer als der erste und der zweite Innendurchmesser ist.
Abstract:
A ball joint capable of maintaining a good sealing characteristic even when a film part of a dust cover is strained and capable of improving the assembly characteristic of the dust cover is provided at low cost. In a ball joint having a ball stud having a spherical head part, a socket turnably housing the spherical head part and having an opening in one side, and a dust cover; the ball stud is provided with a first flange part, an intermediate shaft part, and a second flange part; and the dust cover is provided with an inner peripheral part sandwiched between the first flange part and the second flange part and fitting the intermediate shaft part, a lip part being in close contact with the second flange part, and a protruding part having a gap at least at one location and abutting the second flange part.
Abstract:
A ball joint, which has high reliability and reduced weight, is provided. A ball joint 10 includes: a ball stud 100 having a columnar stud portion 110 and a ball portion 120 which has a spherical side surface and a center positioned on an axis of the stud portion; a ball seat 210 which is made of a resin and has a spherical recess portion 212 into which the ball portion 120 is relatively rotatably and slidably fitted; a housing 220 which is made of a resin and holds the ball seat 210 therein; and a support bar 230 which is integrally formed with the housing 220, wherein the support bar 230 has a bar portion 231 which is a center portion extending along an axis of the support bar.
Abstract:
A sealing subassembly (22) of a ball joint (10), in particular for a vehicle, comprises a retainer ring (26) that has a ring axis (A) and a radial ring flange (32) with a top face (34) and an opposite bottom face (36), and a sealing element (28) which rests against both the top face (34) and the bottom face (36) of the flange and is exclusively form locked to the retainer ring (26). The form locking connection is designed such that the retainer ring (26) and the sealing element (28) are attached to each other without clearance in the axial and radial direction. The top face (34) of the flange has a bare contact surface (40) for a sealing diaphragm (20).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ball joint with a sealing bellow (4), whereby the sealing bellow (4) is arranged on the surface (17) of the ball pivot (3) in the shaft region (7) of the ball pivot (3), by means of a surrounding end band (11). The ball joint is characterised in that an elastic element (14), in the axial direction of the journal, which can be embodied in the form of a pressure spring element is arranged in the neck area (8) of the ball pivot (3). The pressure spring element presses against one end in the region of the transition between the neck area (8) and the ball (9) of the ball journal (3) and on the other end, directly or indirectly on the journal side of the end band (11) of the sealing bellow (4). The invention also relates to a ball joint wherein the sliding of the sealing bellow on the neck of the ball journal is prevented in a durable and reliable manner, even under extreme climatic conditions, or during exceptional mechanical stresses, such as, the impingement of a water jet of a high pressure cleaning device. Also, the journal-sided sealing of the sealing bellow and the constructive control and dimensioning of said ball joint is improved.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device, a process and an apparatus for manufacturing a ball joint device having a ball joint and a casing (1). The casing (1) has a housing (10) for housing the ball joint (2), said housing (10) being configured so as to allow a sliding movement of the first ball joint portion (21) in the housing (10). The apparatus has: containment devices (100) for defining a cavity (110) between the surface to be over-injected and the containment devices (100); entrance devices (200) in the containment devices (100), so that the over-injection product can be introduced in the cavity (110).
