Abstract
A spherical bearing permits alignment, maintained alignment, and the immobilization of an attachment to a shaft passing through a core of a bearing. The bearing includes a spherical inner core surrounded by a housing around the core. The bearing does not require alignment of the housing and core to perform its function. Design features based on structural modification of the inner core allow the bearing to be immobilized using minimal compression and releasability when the bearing is released.
