Abstract

The present invention relates to a ball and socket joint, wherein a pin is located on either the socket or the ball and a groove is located on the other of the socket or ball, wherein the pin is configured to engage the groove and can translate along the length of the groove when the ball is located in the socket. An attachment surface for attaching a device to the ball and socket joint is also provided, and the pin and groove are arranged to prevent rotation of the ball about an axis that is parallel to the plane of the groove and extends through the attachment surface when the ball is located in the socket. The invention also relates to a ball and socket joint comprising a locking nut, wherein the locking nut comprises a partly circular internal cross section and a second flat surface, and wherein the locking nut is sized such that when a first flat surface on the ball and the second flat surface of the locking nut are aligned the ball is able to pass through the opening, and such that when the first flat surface and the second flat surface are offset from each other the ball is not able to pass through the opening.
