Abstract
A motion transmitting coupling link comprises a metal base element having a flattened end portion having a through hole in which a ball socket is anchored. The ball socket is moulded in position and is made of a plastics material. Radial slits extend outwardly from the edge of the hole, so as to define tongues which are bent out from the plane of the end portion. The invention is especially applicable to use in windshield wiper linkages.
