JOINT HOUSING

摘要

The invention relates to a joint housing (1) in an inner chamber (2') thereof wherein, for example, a bearing shell or a molecular joint is arranged. The joint housing (1) comprises a housing area (2) and a securing shaft (3) which can be introduced into a recess of the end region of a hollow profile (4) and can be pressed to the end region of the hollow profile (4). The securing shaft (3) comprises an at least partially surrounding groove arrangement (5), in order to produce a positive fit press connection between the securing shaft (3) and the hollow profile (4). The inventive joint housing (1) is characterised in that profile of the grooves (5) of the groove arrangement corresponds, in the longitudinal section of the shaft, to a section of at least one mathematical curve function. The aim of the invention is to produce, in an economical manner, highly stable, reinforced, light joint housings for ball-and-socket joints, wheel suspensions, stabilisers and similar. This is possible, in particular, as the geometry of the groove arrangement determines the properties of the press connection between the housing shaft, and the hollow profile can be optimised, according to the invention, using an analytical method.
