Title:
KNEE JOINT ASSEMBLED MEMBER AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SAID MEMBER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5422053
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A tapered shank ball stud, as used in an articulated joint assembly, has its tapered shank secured in seated engagement in the tapered aperture of a support member in such an assembly by a lock nut threaded onto the externally threaded end of the ball stud with a collapsing washer of original C-shaped annulus configuration sandwiched between the member and the lock nut, the washer being operative as the nut is driven onto the ball stud to effect axial movement of the ball stud to fully seat the tapered shank portion thereof in the tapered aperture in the support member thereby preventing rotation of the ball stud as the lock nut is torqued down to effect collapsing of the washer into a final flat ring-like washer configuration.
