Ball-joint connection device for connecting e.g. clutch pedal and drive shaft, has retaining unit e.g. clasp, retaining pin head in position in shaft head, and presenting sufficient elasticity to permit passage of pin head in shaft head

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a rigid pin (12) fixed on a lever and extending along an axis perpendicular to a plane of movement of the lever. A pin head (14) is rigidly fixed to an end of the pin, and a shaft head (13) is rigidly fixed to an end of a drive shaft (11). The shaft head, which is in hollow circular shape, forms a ball-joint type reception cage for the pin head (14). A retaining unit e.g. clasp (15), retains the pin head in position in the shaft head, where the clasp presents sufficient elasticity for permitting the passage of the pin head in the shaft head and forms rectangular shaped section. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Ball-joint connection device for use in automobile field for connecting a lever e.g. clutch pedal, and a drive shaft of master cylinder of a hydraulic braking system of a motor vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The connection device facilitates the adjustments of mounting and retaining efforts during the mounting of the pin head in the shaft head. The connection device is robust and less cost, and can be easily mounted and dismounted in a reliable manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a sectional view of a clasp of a ball-joint connection device. 11 : Drive shaft 12 : Pin 13 : Shaft head 14 : Pin head 15 : Clasp.
