Abstract
A ball-joint connection for a braking system comprising a male element (2) and a female element (4). A first end (14) of the male element (2) includes pegs (30,30′) that are automatically radially extracted when the first end (14) is mounted in a female element (4) defined by a housing (16). The pegs (30,30′) collaborate with the interior surface (18) of the housing (16,66) to define a ball-joint connection between the male element (2) and the female element (4). The female element (4) being formed on one end of a piston (66) of for a master cylinder and the male element (2) forms the actuating rod of the master cylinder.
