ABSTRACT:
Homokinetic joint of the type in which the torque is transmitted between two ends by balls engaged in races or tracks made in said ends.
Each track is constituted by two semi-cylindrical grooves, the sectional diameter of which being oriented relative to a radial axis passing through the geometrical center of the joint and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said two ends. The balls are thus made to roll and to be guided between two poles located on the radial axis and two other poles located on an axis perpendicular to said radial axis. Said arrangement excludes the use of any intermediate means for maintaining the balls on the bisecting plane of the joint.
The invention is particularly adapted to realize the two-joints transmission assembly for a vehicle.
