PIVOT PIN CONSTRUCTION FOR GIMBAL JOINT ASSEMBLY

摘要

A pivot pin (22) for use in joint assemblies for ducting (12) and, more particularly, relating to pivot pins interfitting into gimbal joints (10) used to flexibly connect sections of high pressure aircraft ducting (12) together so that said sections of ducting (12) may rotate at said joints relative to each other. There is a reservoir (88) for lubricant (90) integrally formed in the pivot pin (22) and located so that lubricant (90) can seap into the bore (36) into which the pivot pin (22) has been inserted.
