Abstract
A socket joint device includes a first and a second joint component (). The first joint component () has a spherical surface element () with a convex or concave exterior (). The exterior () of the spherical surface element () is part of a spherical surface. An engagement mechanism () engages over the spherical surface element (), so that the engagement mechanism () and the spherical surface element () contact one another via a first contact surface (). A spherical cap-shaped receptacle () in the first or second joint component () and an associated convex spherical cap () in the respective other joint component result in a second contact surface () that has a smaller radius of curvature Rthan the radius of curvature Rof the spherical surface element ().
