Abstract
A connector for connecting first and second members includes a body formed of a composite material including reinforcing fibers embedded in a plastic matrix made of resin, and having a fastening zone for the first member and a housing. A ball joint is swivelable within the housing of the body and has a bore for the fastening of the second member. A first fibrous strip, or a coating, has a coefficient of friction less than or equal to 0.1 and is positioned between the housing and the ball joint in contact with the ball joint. A second fibrous strip having a coefficient of friction greater than or equal to 0.2 is positioned between the housing and the ball joint in contact with the housing.
