CONIC FLANGE PIVOT JOINT

摘要

A pivot joint includes a first member pivotally connected to a second member. The first member includes an opening surrounded by a conical flange and the second member also includes an opening surrounded by a conical flange. The conical flange of the second member is nested within the conical flange of the first member thereby pivotally connecting the first and second members and defining bearing surfaces between the conical flanges. A pivot pin includes an enlarged head and an elongated shank extending therefrom defining a distal end. The head is disposed adjacent the conical flange of the first member. The elongated shank extends through the openings in the first and second members and the distal end is deformed to pivotally retain the first and second members together.
