The ball joint has a socket body and a ball stud pivotally mounted to the socket body. The ball stud has a shank portion that extends therefrom and is aligned along a shank axis. An elastic boot seal (42) that extends between the ball stud and socket body is also included. The seal element (50) is interposed between the boot seal, the shank portion and the input/output member (18) to enhance the boot seal interface and thereby guard the boot seal to shank portion interface against contamination during movement and articulation of the input/output member relative to the ball joint.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 29, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 29, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 29, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
