A ball-and-socket joint to increase mobility in spacesuits was developed and successfully tested for its hermetic quality. The construction of the joint is briefly described and illustrated with photographs and a diagram. The two balls of the joint can be made of either metal or plastic with a hard molybdenum disulphide base coating for reducing friction. Adjacent connecting sections of the suit have a regular truncated cone shape and are off-center in relation to the joint; both measures are calculated to increase the angle of bending. (Author)
