Abstract

A ball-and-socket joint is provided. The ball and socket joint has a lug 5 on one of the ball 1 and the socket 2 and a groove/ recess or housing 4 for the lug 5 on the other of the ball 1 and the socket 2. The groove/ recess or housing 4 is shaped to interact with the lug 5 to allow the axis of the ball 1 to tilt relative to the axis of the socket 2 in any radial direction whilst constraining the ball 1 relative to the socket 2 against twisting about the longitudinal axis of the joint. Further aspects allow for operation of the ball and socket joint
