Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A chassis link has a link body, a ball joint socket being arranged at one link end of the link body. The ball joint socket has a cylindrical portion and an outwardly directed flange which is formed from the same material as and in one piece with the cylindrical portion. The ball joint socket is joined by way of the flange to a first web of the link body. A second lower web of the link body is joined to the cylindrical portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A chassis link comprising: a link body, a ball joint socket at one link end of the link body, the ball joint socket comprising: a cylindrical portion, wherein the ball joint sock and the cylindrical portion are integral, an outwardly directed flange, wherein the flange is joined to a first web of the link body, the flange has two flange portions, a first flange portion having a first width, a second flange portion having a second width, and the first width is different from the second width, wherein a second web of the link body is joined to the cylindrical portion. 2. The chassis link according to claim 1 , wherein the flange comprises a circumferential configuration. 3. The chassis link according to claim 1 , wherein the link body has a hollow profile in a length portion having the link end. 4. The chassis link according to claim 1 , wherein the link body comprises a plurality of sheet metal shells. 5. The chassis link according to claim 1 , wherein the link body comprises two sheet metal shells. 6. A chassis link comprising: a link body, a ball joint socket at one link end of the link body, the ball joint socket comprising: a cylindrical portion, wherein the ball joint sock and the cylindrical portion are integral, an outwardly directed flange, wherein the flange is joined to a first web of the link body, the flange has two flange portions, a first flange portion having a first width, a second flange portion having a second width, and the first width is different from the second width, wherein the first web has an upper side and a lower side, the flange of the ball joint socket bearing against the lower side of the first web and being joined from above to the first web. 7. The chassis link according to claim 6 , wherein the flange comprises a circumferential configuration. 8. The chassis link according to claim 6 , wherein the link body has a hollow profile in a length portion having the link end. 9. The chassis link according to claim 6 , wherein the link body comprises a plurality of sheet metal shells. 10. The chassis link according to claim 6 , wherein the link body comprises two sheet metal shells. 11. A chassis link comprising: a link body, a ball joint socket at one link end of the link body, the ball joint socket comprising: a cylindrical portion, wherein the ball joint sock and the cylindrical portion are integral, an outwardly directed flange, wherein the flange is joined to a first web of the link body, the flange has two flange portions, a first flange portion having a first width, a second flange portion having a second width, and the first width is different from the second width, wherein a second web of the link body is joined to the cylindrical portion, and the first web comprises a first arcuate joining portion and the second web comprises a second arcuate joining portion. 12. The chassis link according to claim 11 , wherein the flange comprises a circumferential configuration. 13. The chassis link according to claim 11 , wherein the link body has a hollow profile in a length portion having the link end. 14. The chassis link according to claim 11 , wherein the link body comprises a plurality of sheet metal shells. 15. The chassis link according to claim 11 , wherein the link body comprises two sheet metal shells.
