<p>A ball socket assembly for attachment to the end of a rod (1), for example of a Bowden cable control mechanism, includes socket member (3) having a hemi-spherical recess (11) for the reception of a ball (12). Surrounding the recess (11) is an elastomeric ring member (5) provided with inwardly projecting wings (15) defining an aperture (13) through which the ball (12) has to pass to engage the recess. The wings (15) provide greater resistance against removal of the ball (12) from the recess (11) than when placement of the ball (12) therein is effected.</p> |
