extends into the second end 74 of the bushing 70 the cavity 83 includes a semi spherical concave hollow 84 and a counterbore 86 the semi spherical hollow has a diameter d 4 while the counterbore 86 has a diameter d 5 the main diameter portion 76 of the bushing 70 is designated by reference numeral d 6 the ramped skirt 78 has an outer diameter designated by the reference numeral d 7 the use of the bushing 70 to pivotally attach the male slipper 44 to the swashplate 16 a can best be understood in view of fig6 8 the ball end 48 of the slipper 44 is loosely inserted into the cavity 83 of the bushing 70 this loose subassembly is then positioned at the entrance of the socket 28 c an axial force f is applied to the pad end 46 of the slipper 44 to press the subassembly into the socket 28 c the lead in chamfer 64 assists in guiding the bushing 70 into the main diameter portion 62 of the socket 28 c the diameter d 8 of the main diameter portion 62 is large enough to slidably receive the diameter d 6 of the bushing 70 however once the major diameter d 1 of the ball end of the slipper 44 passes the lead in chamfer 64 the main diameter d 8 engages the ramped skirt portion 78 of the malleable bushing 70 thus the malleable ramped skirt portion 78 is automatically crimped deformed or bent inwardly around the back of the ball end 48 of the slipper 44 as the subassembly is pressed into the socket 28 c the ramped.
