ABSTRACT:
Each roller of a joint is mounted not only to slide and rotate on a corresponding arm 8 of a tripod element, but also to pivot about a single axis which is parallel to the general axis of the tripod element. The tripod element is in this way self-retaining axially in the bell element of the joint. The joint has a high capacity for a small volume and a light weight and a high efficiency, even at large break angles of operation, and is suitable for driving the front wheels of automobile vehicles.
