ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity universal joint for transmitting motion between two shafts which are intended to be run at an angle. An even number of spindles preferably equal to, or greater than, four are mounted on a hub member fixed to one of the shafts. Rollers with part-spherical outer rolling surfaces are slidably and rotatably mounted on the spindles and cooperate with corresponding opposed pairs of grooves formed in a cup member fixed to the other shaft. The angle formed between the longitudinal axis of one of the spindles with the axis of its respective shaft being equal to the angle formed between the longitudinal axis of its corresponding pair of opposed grooves and the axis of the latter's respective shaft. This angle between 15.degree. and 45.degree. may differ from one spindle and its pair of opposed grooves to another such unit. Alternatively two spindles and two grooves could be fixed on one shaft and two other grooves and two other spindles could be fixed to the other shaft for cooperation with one another. The axes of the spindles may either converge or diverge beyond the free ends of their respective shafts.
