ABSTRACT:
A ball joint comprised of a ball with a shank, a socket having slots on the open side thereof, a steel ring with a lever for accommodating the ball joint, and a clamping mechanism which is fitted as a one-piece unit to the socket, said clamping unit being adapted to also effect clamping of the upper portion of the socket and to afford force and form-locking stabilization thereof. The clamping unit for effecting biasing in axial direction of the socket with the steel ring forming the housing of the ball joint is in the form of a knee-lever mechanism. This mechanism includes hook-like members which are arranged on the socket, said hook-like members being linked with a centrally disposed and axially displaceable thrust member. The thrust member serves as a manipulating means for actuating the knee-lever mechanism.
