  • Play-free hook-type connection
    Patent number: 4394054
    Abstract: A hook-type connection for the play-free connection of two parts. A first part comprises a hook with wings which engage an edge which is formed on an abutment on a second part. In the assembled condition, the wings are pivoted about the longitudinal axis of the shank of the hook, so that the hook is subjected to a torsional load. A hook-type connection of this kind offers optimum freedom of design for the different manufacturing tolerances of the parts and the hook-type connection occuring during practice.
