Ball and socket thing on canti brakes

Hello,

I wonder if any of the sages on the forum can help me with the name of something.
On canti brake pads there is a sort of ball and socket combination that allows that angle of the pad to be set against the rim.
What are these called? I need to buy a set of these in a bigger size for another application, but much as I have tried, I can't find the right description for google.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Steven

Orbital.

The ball and socket gives orbital adjustment.

Thanks very much, that's exactly what I am after. I can't believe in all the combinations of names I came up with I missed the obvious.

Cheers
