ABSTRACT:
A flexure, useful as a universal joint between two corotating members, the flexure being capable of flexing about two orthogonal axes, but providing extremely good stiffness with respect to translational forces is accomplished in a flexure in the form of a cross including two members having a cross-shaped cross-section extending along two mutually perpendicular axes, the members terminating at each end in solid pieces with the solid pieces at the end of the one member used for attachment to one of the rotating members and the solid pieces at the ends of the other member for attachment to the second rotating member.
