| titleOfInvention | Ball joint connector |
| abstract | The present invention is directed to a ball joint connector for connecting an elongated element to a ball pin (2), comprising a socket (10) having a cylindrical cavity (12) for receiving a ball of a ball pin with an opening (14) at one end and a dome-shaped end wall (11) at the opposite end, and a clip (30) disposed at least partially within the cavity and dimensioned to encompass more than the upper hemisphere of the ball, said clip being moveable between a locking position in which it extends with two opposite end portions into the lower hemisphere of the ball to be in abutment with surface portions in the lower hemisphere to hold the ball secured in the cavity, and a retracted assembly/disassembly position in which its opposite end portions allow the ball to pass for insertion/removal to/from the cavity, characterized in that the clip (30) is arranged to extend, in its locking position, in abutment with the surface of a ball received in the cavity on opposing sides of the ball on each side over a portion of the upper hemisphere and with its lower end portion over an adjoining surface portion of the lower hemisphere, and in that the clip (30) is received in grooves (40) formed in the inner wall of the cavity extending in a symmetrical manner on opposite side regions from a first end close to the opening of the cavity to a second end in the dome-shaped end wall, wherein the depth of each groove is increasing starting from the first end to form a flaring groove bottom (42) adapted to support the clip end portion in the locking position to keep the ball in the cavity, wherein the increasing depth of the groove is arranged such that the opposite end portions of the clip are, in its the assembly/disassembly position, free to be moved radially outwardly into a region (44) of increased depth of the groove to allow the ball to pass by the opposite end portions of the clip. |
