Abstract: A ball joint for a stabilizer includes a metal stud ball having a spherical head and a pillow ball seat for swingably supporting the metal stud ball. The pillow ball seat includes a plastic cylindrical seat member, a top wall portion integral with the top of the seat member, a metal cylindrical piece member fitted on the seat member, a plastic disklike cap member fitted on the top wall portion of the seat member, and means for securing the cap member to the top wall portion of the seat member. The seat member has an annular spherical concave surface formed in the inner periphery thereof. The spherical head of the stud ball is pressure-fitted in the seat member and swingably supported on the concave surface.

Abstract: This process of forming ornamental joints comprises sticking a sheet flooring material onto a floor base, thereafter drawing two parallel standard lines on this stuck sheet flooring material with a desired outline and an interval corresponding to the width of the joint, sliding a cutter on the sheet flooring material along this standard line thereby to draw two parallel cuts on this flooring material, stripping the sheet flooring material between these cuts to thereby form a joint-forming grooved portion provided with a masking along side edges of stuck sheet flooring material and charging this grooved portion with a joint material. This process permits to obtain various patterned ornamental joints.

Abstract: This process of forming ornamental joints comprises sticking a sheet flooring material onto a floor base, thereafter drawing one desirably outlined standard line on the thus stuck sheet flooring material, then sliding one cutting blade of a cutter with a pair of cutting blades, disposed leaving a space corresponding to the joint width therebetween, on the sheet flooring material along the standard line to thereby form two parallel cuts on the flooring material, stripping the sheet flooring material between these cuts to thereby form a groove for forming a joint, and charging the grooved portion with a joint material. According to the process like this, there can be obtained ornamental joints of various patterns.

Abstract: A secondary working apparatus for secondarily machining a blank preliminarily formed with internal serrations, splines or teeth on a cylindrical plane, comprising a stationary housing structure; a chuck for supporting the blank with the center axis of the cylindrical plane fixed with respect to the housing structure; at least one shaft rotatable with respect to the housing structure about an axis substantially parallel with the center axis of the above mentioned cylindrical plane, the shaft having a cylindrical eccentric axial portion having a center axis offset from the axis of rotation of the shaft; and at least one generally cylindrical machining tool coaxially carried on the eccentric axial portion of the shaft and formed with a plurality of external serrations, the machining tool having a center axis substantially coincident with the center axis of the eccentric axial portion of the shaft.
