  • Publication number: 20250091511
    Abstract: A vehicle accessory mount system is provided that includes a ball-and-socket joint. The socket portion includes a non-metallic material, and the ball portion includes a metallic material whereby the non-metallic material exhibits elasticity to allow a surface of the socket portion to temporarily deform in order to conform to imperfections in the surface of the ball portion as the ball portion inserts into the socket portion under pressure. As the ball portion is caused to rotate within the socket portion under pressure, the elasticity of the socket portion allows a surface of the socket portion to adapt and conform to the changing locations of the imperfections of the ball portion in relation to the socket portion.
