ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity universal joint has outer and inner joint members with opposed grooves and balls in opposed pairs of the grooves to transmit torque. A cage between the joint members is provided with a number of radial openings to retain the balls in a plane which bisects the angle between the inner and outer joint members formed when the joint is bent and which is at right angles to the cage. The balls engage surfaces of the radial openings which are parallel with the plane and at least on one side of each ball there is provided a supporting plate which engages the ball by a concave spherical surface or a ball groove and which contacts a surface of the cage opening with a planar face. The balls may also be retained within the openings by means of a supporting ring which may be fixed in the opening or capable of movement therein.
