ABSTRACT:
A ball and socket swivel bearing is disclosed. The bearing comprises a rod end having a shank portion and a metallic socket portion. The socket portion has a continuous toroidal inner periphery and has outer walls defining circular side openings. A metallic swivel ball is mounted within the socket portion and is surrounded with a plastic bearing material. A key slot is provided in the shank portion and communicates with the space between the ball and the socket to act as a sprue for the introduction of plastic bearing material and to provide resistance to breakaway torque applied to the bearing material.
