ABSTRACT:
A ball and socket connector. A socket frame includes a pair of half tubes welded together with the opposite distal ends forming sockets bearingly receiving ball-shaped ends of a pair of elements. The half tubes are connected together at a location remote from the sockets thereby spring-biasing the socket-forming members against the ball-shaped ends. Planar surfaces are provided within each socket allowing the ball-shaped ends to contact the half tubes along a line of contact.
