ABSTRACT:
In an angularly movable universal joint, an inner joint member fits into a hollow space within an outer joint member. The surface of the outer joint member within the hollow space contains uniformly circumferentially spaced axially extending grooves. Radially directed openings are located in the inner joint member facing the grooves. At least partly spherically shaped rolling members are placed in the openings and the grooves for transferring torque between the two parts of the universal joint. Adjacent rolling members are arranged so that they contact one another along spherically shaped surfaces. Balls can be used as the rolling members.
